Title: Surprise Hire as Coach of the Boston Celtics Post by: Marshal Dillon 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. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/boston-celtics-hire-butler-university-brad-stevens-as-next-head-coach-070312 :o Title: Re: Surprise Hire as Coach of the Boston Celtics Post by: pmull on July 04, 2013, 06:47:55 AM 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.

Bingo! Handling all those giant egos will be a shock for him & I think he will totally flummoxed. :popcorn2: Title: Re: Surprise Hire as Coach of the Boston Celtics Post by: Jamos on July 04, 2013, 10:52:06 AM I wish him luck because he will sure need it, is it worth the money? ???
Title: Re: Surprise Hire as Coach of the Boston Celtics Post by: cbbama99 on July 04, 2013, 12:18:25 PM Should be interesting. With the exception of Doc Rivers, the Celtics haven't had much success with coaches since probably KC Jones.

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!
