Pretty cool story about Brad Stevens.

[BoatShow]

A coworker's daughter is a big Butler fan and they're playing at umASS tonight. So he emails him saying his 12 yr old daughter is a big fan it'd make her life to possibly meet/get her jersey autographed tonight and wanted to know the best way to go about it.

Stevens responds in about 5 minutes saying that the team's shootaround is at noon and its open to the public so they can feel free to come in, get on the court and meet the team. His two daughters got on the court, took some shots, got autographs and pictures with the team. Really good guy.

You can just tell he's a great guy, he's real and genuine just like Ollie.

UMass doesn't have the $$ or pedigree to hire Stevens

Might just like 12 year olds.

If Brad Stevens started looking for a new job, every program in the country that didn't have a great coach already in place would be throwing money at him. There's no chance in hell he would end up at UMess.

I keep hearing he is the coach in waiting at Duke. Any truth to that?

 

[Rico444]

Well, he'd have to decide if he wants that, or to take up residence in Amherst.

Decisions, Decisions...

I say RJ can't hit free throws and I'm a pariah. This is fine though.

you're kidding i hope. if stevens were deciding between duke and umass don't you think we'd be hearing more about that.

[Rico444]

What, you don't think Umass is as good a destination as Duke?

(Yes, I was kidding)

I've heard people say Indiana - but Crean has made sure that job won't be opening up anytime soon.

He's been seen at many "Hugging 101" sessions lately so maybe he's preparing?!?!
