Surprise Hire as Coach of the Boston Celtics

« on: July 03, 2013, 10:02:34 PM »

I am stunned by this hire. Wow!

Quote

Less than a week after agreeing to trade Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets — and 10 days after shipping coach Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers — the Celtics hired Butler's Brad Stevens as their next head coach.

He did a great job at Butler but.... I am surprised by this hire. College coaches don't transition well into pro head coach positions.

Stevens is a great college coach, but I wonder if at such a relatively young age he will be able to handle these NBA primmadonnas.

Should be interesting. With the exception of Doc Rivers, the Celtics haven't had much success with coaches since probably KC Jones.

Well it seems someone just grab at the air. I know this man is a good man and coach. He did great at Butler BUT, these Pro's who think they are worth millions and they are so much above everybody else. He is going to need more than luck. I hate but I say 3 years. RTR!
