Rondo to Get a Taste of the Coaching Lifestyle

From the Herald:

He also didn’t object to flying to Orlando on Friday at the request of Celtics management, which floated the idea with the player three weeks ago

And now he gets to feel what a coach feels, including the frustration.

You might say that he now understands why Doc Rivers can get discouraged when what gets called in the huddle doesn’t get carried out on the floor.

“It’s frustrating when you call for something and the guys go out and turn the ball over,” Rondo said.

“But it’s only two days, and the guys are coming from different teams and systems, so it’s hard. But I’m cool. I get to look at things and learn the coach’s perspective.”

Interesting how management asked Rondo to head down, isn't it? Why not Tony Allen or Brian Scalabrine? Is this in response to all of that "stubbornness" talk we were graced with a few weeks back? In an attempt to open Rondo's eyes somewhat?
