The thing about Vrabel, the biggest selling point, he's not a rookie, the job won't be new to him.
00:04
He, again, won't be at the back of the plane, playing cards with the boys, trying to be one of the guys.
00:10
Chad Graff.
00:11
He also won't bench, or not bench, Vermont or Stevenson, or waffle on that.
00:16
Yeah, you know, I get it. I think he is a solid coach, but just because he played here doesn't mean you have to hire him.
00:22
Again, Chad Graff, he was playing cards at the back of the plane, after they lost to the Cardinals,
00:27
while the whole rest of the coaching staff was watching film at the front of the plane.
00:30
The whole rest of them. Keith, to pull back the curtain a little bit,
00:33
you've traveled with the Boston Celtics before.
00:36
I have, yeah.
00:38
There's not a lot of interacting with the players going on from media, coaches, anybody.
00:44
Oh, you didn't?
00:45
I didn't.
00:46
You weren't playing cards with the guys?
00:47
I for sure kept my head down and didn't look at anybody.
00:50
I think me and Brandon Bass and Big Baby Davis were playing cards.
00:53
I kept my head down so much, I was on the flight where Rondo didn't go to Sacramento, I didn't even notice.
00:57
I didn't even know.
00:58
I didn't even know. Rondo stayed behind to party in L.A., I didn't even know I was on that flight.
01:01
Talk about a situation where you're just trying to stay out of the way.
01:04
I was just like, where can I be where I won't bother anybody?
01:06
Meanwhile, so this is Brad Stevenson's rookie year.
01:09
Brad Stevenson's at the back of the plane, playing bourree with the boys.
01:13
Right after they lost by 30 to the Spurs, he's out there having a nice time.
01:16
No, I don't think so.
01:18
In your face, Fellers. Fudge you.
01:20
Nope.
01:21
Like, no way.
01:22
He's sitting so far in front of the plane, he might as well be flying it.
01:25
Like, that's where Brad Stevenson was.
01:27
And Mayo, same thing. Mayo's rookie year, Mayo's first year.
01:29
He's back there playing cards with the guys.
01:31
So Vrabel won't do that.
01:32
No, no.
01:33
Talking about low bars to clear.
01:35
And Mike Vrabel, make no mistake, sounds like the guy.
