Celtics and Lakers are the two most prestigious NBA jobs. It's not even a debate. But there is something about going to your dream job or school

If that is his dream still. Not so sure it is.

I do think Donovan is the more likely. However, Stevens would surely listen. And one more thing to remember. Brad was offered when IU technically didn't have a job opening. Now they do. Up the ante on the offer on top of that and just maybe IU could get him

Wouldn't even be surprised if he didn't even pick up the phone

He would, he is a class act!

[Ryno6284 2,560]

Not saying he would say yes, but he is respectful enough to at least listen.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

I personally don't think it would be disrespectful to let that call go to voicemail lol

Brad will without a doubt listen to Fred, he's to much of a gentleman.

He probably won't accept an offer but he'll at least listen and tell his wife.

I said it yesterday and I'll say it again now... Money talks. I'm sure he enjoys his job now, but if we come at him with a large offer we're going to have his ear. I didn't think we had any shot but then I saw that he's only makin around $3.7 million a year. It's not like he's already making $6 million like Donovan.

Meh. Crimson quarry is fake news! They're still healing their broken hearts after seeing Crean got fired.

Just read on ESPN ticker that Stevens is "not interested in the IU job. Would be in Boston until they decide to go in another direction"

We know we don't know who will coach IU BB next year.  Make Brad Stevens an offer he can't refuse. The enormous branding and marketing from National Championships will pay for itself. 

[WestCoastView 16]

IU doesn't need an "IU Guy" it needs the best Brad Stevens. 

[lonnie43 9]

IU doesn't need a Stevens or Alford, they need to stay where they are at!!

Celtics just blew back to back 18+ point leads against the lakers (18) and clippers (28 points and lost by ELEVEN)

 

 

Media and fans are ready to run him out of town given their performance this season. So for those of you clamoring for Stevens....

Hello darkness, my old friend...

[pumpfake 3,930]

Even if we were in a coaching search, I still don't think the odds of him coming back to college ball are any where near guaranteed.  By all accounts he prefers coaching in the NBA over the 24/7 demands of coaching and recruiting.  Also, I'd imagine if the Celtics would fire him  there'd be many NBA teams eager to hire him.

The NBA is much like the NFL in they just recycle coaches.
