Good News: Boston Won’t Be Hiring Kara Lawson Away From Duke

Good news for Duke fans as the Boston Celtics will not be hiring Kara Lawson. We admit we were a bit spooked when former Celtic Brian Scalabrine flat-out said Boston would be hiring Lawson.

And we can see the logic.

In her brief time in Durham she’s made a huge impression. No one paying attention doubts her basketball acumen or charisma. She’s doing what she was born to do and someday she may do it at the highest possible level.

But as impressive as she is, she’s only coached one season as an assistant and one sort-of year at Duke where most of the season was called off due to the pandemic.
