Bob Cousy: Fired

I'm coaching a road game today and don't have enough time to fully dive into the news that Comcast fired Bob Cousy. I have to say it caught me off guard for several reasons.

1. Cousy was incredibly positive last season and genuinely enjoyed being there. This wasn't like previous seasons where he complained the whole time.

2. It's Bob Cousy, one of the key remaining links to Red Auerbach. The Cooz!

3. Donny Marshall is okay as a studio guy, but I'm not sold on his broadcasting work.

4. There will come a point when you can't get Tommy Heinsohn and Cousy on the air together. There's no reason to force the issue.

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

wow

I’m all in favor of Cousy being gone. It’s true, he was positive this year. But, he drove me insane in other years with how negative he was. I can honestly say that in every year except the most recent one, he honestly made watching the Celtics less enjoyable for me.

Now, that being said, how can you fire him? Imagine having to be the person to take responsibility for it. There’d have to be a fat bonus for me to do that.

Hopefully there will be no bad karma. I don’t expect any. He had it coming to him with the way he used to rip on this team.

I've thought a lot about that

He was ultra negative. But in his defense the C’s were awful.

Love Cousy, don't love his broadcasting skills

Cousy was not longer a good broadcaster. Tommy maybe be one of the worst homers in broadcasting, but he is still clever and insightful. If Tommy could tone down his complaining about calls, he can remain a quality broadcaster.

No need for Tommy to tone it down

He’s already a quality broadcaster, and doesn’t need to change anything.

I liked Cousy, but I guess I understand the decision. He won’t be nearly as missed as Tommy is on road games.
