He also isn't likely to leave for an assistant's job, especially with a bad team.

Absolutely! You were totally clear that it was just a raps assistant job he wouldn't take. It's right there in what you wrote! Good call brainy!

There you go sir, my very first post to this moronic thread.

Actually there dopey, you suggested he come to the Raps as an assisstant coach.

Let's see....Raps Ass. Coach or Celtics Head Coach? hmmm....totally comparable.

You're right, what was thinking, he's got it too good to consider an NBA job.

Sad day for college hoops.

Money was too good to pass up, reportedly 3.75m a year.. lol

hahahahahaha. College coaches are treated like gods on campus and in their community. If the NBA jobs were the pinacle of life, then why have guys like Coach K, Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, etc chosen to say in college? Better job security and (often times) equal pay.

He just got hired by the C**tics, according to Woj.

Heh. Celtics.

if we hire this guy does he come with KCP?

Maybe Stevens could be convinced he's the next Pitino. Unlikely, maybe. Impossible? No. This is where a guy like TL and the deep pockets of MLSE can really pull something off.

Yet, many college coaches have come to the NBA. You don't know unless you make the offer.

Not many of the great ones. Other than Rick Pitino, most college hires are mid-level guys. Guys in the upper echelon of college coaching rarely make the jump. Much higher risk without much more reward.

We're talking about the NBA here, so I wouldn't make that assumption. Worth looking into, In any case.

Brad Stevens turned down the UCLA job recently which is a better gig than any NBA head coaching job.
