BOSTON -- They are the head coaches in different sports in the area, but they have sent their congratulations to Boston manager Terry Francona for making it back to the World Series for the second time in four years.
Bill Belichick sent a couple of e-mails to Francona, the Red Sox skipper said yesterday. And Francona and Rivers have exchanged text messages.
''I appreciate it,'' said Francona.
Francona has become friendly with Rivers.
''Doc Rivers is a really nice guy,'' said Francona. ''He is about as down to earth as you can be.''
Francona said he also has received congratulatory messages from, among others, Scott Pioli, the vice-president for player personnel of the New England Patriots, and Gene DeFillippo, athletic director at Boston College.
