Why is Brad Stevens trending on Twitter?
- Thread starter zeke4ahs
- Start date
I forget where I saw this, probably in one of the megathreads on BTB.... Shoutout to the original person who posted it.
Here's a video of every IU fan walking into work the day after Brad Stevens is hired....
Stevens would be a horrible choice. He has been away from the college game for 12 years. The game is much different when he left especially with NLI money involved. Why come back to the college game and have to suck ass to a bunch of teenagers that you have to beg to give you effort when you can stay where players are contractual bound and without performance they can be cut?
Either way, he is not coming to IU.

Are you telling me he doesn't have to suck ass to guys like Tatum, Brown. and Porzingas?
Reasons why I could see him doing it:
-Of anything else he could do, returning Indiana to national prominence is probably the most impactful thing for his legacy.
-Maybe some sort of pull to change college bball for the better. Taking his NBA GM mindset, applying it to coaching and managing a college program
-Maybe have his son transfer and walk on at IU
-Maybe he misses coaching college basketball
-He has family in Indiana
-Coaching at IU was something he talked about being aspirational for him at one point
Reasons why I could see him not doing it, or even considering it:
-He's making roughly 11 million per year, without the stress of coaching
-Maybe he and his family love New England more than they miss "home"
-He still has a daughter in high school
-He's a decade removed from coaching college
-Maybe he has no interest in dealing with NIL/Portal dynamics
-the risk of failing, and tarnishing he legacy
When thinking through them, as logically as possible, the scales start to tip heavily in favor of him staying with the Celtics.

Same. I’m blocked but I saw some mention. Lots of non IU fans that care so much they have to post as well.
Does he have kids at IU? I saw something about that on Twitter right before something about a laptop somebody had in their possession.
Boston is one of the worst places in the US to live.
He has a kid playing at Notre Dame.
Boston sucks. Great to visit, but literally anywhere in Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire would be a better place to live.
Where did you live in Boston? I spent a lot of time there, it was great.
I’ve been to all those places. If I wanted to live around tons of assholes I’d just move to Florida.
welcome home Brad.
You could be the only person on the planet that thinks BS would be a bad choice. All the other things you list are reasons he might not want to do it, not why he’d be a bad choice. Well, this does prove one thing. There is absolutely no one we can pick that will make everyone happy.
No. I was just down there for a week to see my sweet non asshole Granny. Port Charlotte, Sarasota, Punta Gorda Fort Myers, and Marco Island were all the stops. I wanted to sign off on my kids and quit my job by the time I had to had back up here. It was absolutely perfect the whole week.
Terrible. I was mostly calling the drivers assholes. Anything more than that and it’s an instant elder abuse charge.
All of our fav places and we want to relocate there but real estate down there has gone off the rails and insurance as well. And traffic due to the growth is getting very bad.
