Definitely not a lawyer but have signed a few contracts. I’m sure the majority of NBA coaches have non compete clauses in their contract. Whether that holds up to college gigs is way above my understanding.

I know for me I had to be out of my contract and before I could sign with a different company.

Also, there is blood family and there are contacts you make that can be like family.

Being the coach's wife in a nee city is probably fairly isolating.  You come in and your "friends" are assistant coaches wives or executive's wives?  Tracy and Brad had to have had an Indiana network before he became Brad bleeping Stevens. Coming to Bloomington puts her within driving distance of that friend network.  If they buy property anywhere north of Bloomington then she is a jump on 37 (being converted to I69) away from everyone they spent years developing friendships with in the Indianapolis area and northern suburbs.

Sterling mentioned Boston is a very parochial city.  There is Boston and there are transplants.  A midwesterner in Boston who has to live in the type of bubble that the Stevens live in are the ultimate fish out of water. 

Her family may not be here in Indiana, but her roots most definitely are.

The flip side of that is that in Boston he and his family can go about their lives without being mobbed in public. So could the rest of his family. Brad Stevens looks like any corporate white dude at a restaurant or walking down the street. That wouldn’t be the case in Bloomington.

No he can't.  He is the coach of the Boston freaking Celtics.  And instead of being surrounded by 60,000 people who all know who he is, he is surrounded by several million who all know who he is.  He is probably one of THE most recognizable faces in that city.

I personally think he knows his time in Boston is limited(whether Ainge likes him or not its a business)and this move is the best for him and his family.  That is what makes ME confident he chooses to come.

Celtics assistants. I suspect this guy is guessing one will take over if Stevens leaves. 

[BlueDevil]

Jamie Young is another state of Indiana transplant

With Brad's wife being his lawyer/agent, she is VERY aware of his contract.  We would NOT even be having conversations if there was NO OUT.  Celtics CAN'T force him to NOT take the job.  Brad CAN decide to not take it though for whatever his reasons.

Lol, no, he is not one of the most recognizable faces in the city. You can see ten dudes who look like this on your morning walk to the office in Boston. 
 

 

I get that we all want him to come here, but come on. He can live a much more normal life in Boston than he could in Bloomington. You think he’s going anywhere in Bloomington without being recognized?

Those people didn’t become rich throwing away money on something that they didn’t think would work either.  Most rich people are the tightest people in the world, at least the ones I know.  That’s how they became rich.

Fact

Unless they bought a new one they sold that place a couple years back. I know some people who live close by and have seen the Celtics flag flying high on the dock.

Well that’s not good. My guess is they gave up on the idea of coming back then and sold it. I wasn’t aware. Can’t imagine they’d go to the trouble of selling it and buying another one for as limited amount of time as they’d have there....doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like to now though. I’ve met a handful of people who have homes on that lake, never been myself, but they are all addicted to it...Never stop talking about it. They all have their regular friends/family and their lake WaWa friends/family like it’s two separate worlds. 

[IUHAHN81]

Yeah, who the hell signs a contract that doesn't allow them to coach anywhere else if something happens? I think we r just waiting for the Celtics to get their crap together.

In general non-competes have limits, you can't forbid someone from making a living in an industry, you might limit the location or forbid them from contacting clients they acquired with your company, for instance. But no blanket "can't coach" clause would stand up or ever be agreed to. 

This is correct.  The only reason the NBA can prevent a coach from taking another job is because of the anti-trust exemptions that were granted to them by congress.  Those exemptions do not extend to the NCAA, so the Celtics do not have the power to prevent him from being the next coach for the Hoosiers.

I don't think Mark Cuban would be allowed to contribute the money to IU if Dolson mentioned Brad Stevens.  It seems like this would be a conflict of interest and possibly collusion to remove a rival coach from the league when you own a competing team.  So either Mark didn't pony up the cash, or Dolson never told him who he is targeting.

Technically I think he could pay Archies buyout. He definitely couldn’t pay the transition costs
