NBA media in a civil war over former Celtics coach Doc Rivers and accountability

Fans of the Boston Celtics and the NBA more generally have found themselves divided over Doc Rivers’ job at the helm of the Milwaukee Bucks and his detractors, most notably former NBAer and current broadcaster JJ Redick. The “Old Man and the 3” podcast host took Rivers to task for supposedly shirking responsibility for his teams on social media recently.

A not-small portion of the NBA media landscape leapt to Rivers’ defense, including his son and fellow broadcaster Austin Rivers, and current Bucks guard Patrick Beverley. A back-and-forth then ensued, and the rift still seems to be in place because of the comments.

Was Redick right about Doc’s accountability? Or was the former NBA sharpshooter off the mark?

The hosts of Fox Sports Radio’s “Ben Maller Show” weighed in on a recent episode. Check it out above!
