Both Ainge and Kite played for Brigham Young University. "I grew up with Sporting News as by baseball Bible," Layden said. "I have a lot to think about now in terms of their credibility. Their credibility in basketball is just ridiculous." Layden said he has had one conversation with Celtics General Manager Red Auerbach about Ainge.
