I don't blame him, being a head college basketball coach is exhausting, it's not just coaching. You're constantly on the road traveling for recruiting and texting/calling 15,16, and 17 year old kids all day and your constantly having to reshape your roster and teach kids how to play your system ever year. As an NBA head coach you just show up and coach, GM takes care of the roster, contracts, and all that stuff. Brad Stevens, even if gets fired from the Celtics, he's a good young coach he'll get another head coaching NBA job quickly or worst case be a top assistant for a contender, and be next in line for a head job the following year.JohnnyFan post=432318 said:

Coaching college basketball has always been almost a year round grind because of recruiting and now it will be even worse with the free transfer rule.

I hear you but the thing is if your heart is not really in it or you are not all in, it isn’t going to work. If someone is only taking the job because you gave them an offer that they couldn’t refuse, despite them trying, they didn’t want the job and you aren’t going to get what you expected. Oh they will do what they are supposed to on paper, but you aren’t going to get the drive, passion and all in effort you were expecting. I think that was the start of problem when the Knicks hired Phil Jackson. He kept turning them down until he received that offer he couldn’t refuse. While I won’t say he mailed it in, he wasn’t all in either and tried to put surrogates in place and it just didn’t work.

It would still require the right circumstance for him to consider. Remember the ONLY reason some IU fans thought Stevens would consider it was because the Celtics were having a very disappointing season so far (they have played better of late). Because if the Celtics are a championship caliber team in that town with that franchise, don't see him leaving for any job in college.

Stevens probably turns down the same offer twice, but I bet if Duke offers $10 million a year in the near future he would listen a little harder than he did to Indiana.

Truth. In fact at that time there were already plenty calling for his head which made even silly ideas somewhat plausible since he seemed not long for Boston. At the time they had a losing record. Winning 8 of their last 9 since April 1 and getting out of the playoff play-in tournament has put out some torches and lowered some pitchforks.
Where will Coach A land on this list in 2 years?

Not a head coach but UCONN has an assistant opening as Kevin Freeman is leaving for another job at the school.
