Actually, the Cavaliers' new coach is a native of Boston, who grew up with a transistor radio almost growing out of his ear, listening to Johnny Most's gravelly Boston Celtics broadcasts.

He doesn't claim to be an expert at coaching either, in fact.
"I'm not an offensive or defensive coach," he said. "I'm a basketball coach."
He's the newest Cavaliers coach, fresh from Maccabi Tel Aviv and a Euroleague Championship, the first European coach to make the leap straight to a head coaching position in the NBA." - CLICK HERE to read full story.
