Was reading an article on the coach, and it said he was only 49 years old. Can't believe he's that young...thought he was at least 60. Man has not aged well. I know he has had some health issues but dang....
He looked a lot younger when he was standing next to Greg Oden.
The coach for the Celtics Brad Stevens will just about get any college job he wants when he is ready. He is the future of college basketball. He wont be an NBA coach long, doesnt matter what seed you were last year, what record, if two strait unfortunate seasons come along heck, maybe one you're no longer the flavor of the month.
When you say "parties", are you referring to barbecue's perhaps? Because then it would REALLY be a good fit.
Brad has just proven that he is a good NBA coach, unless he falls flat on his face soon, he will be in the NBA for as long as he wants to be.
Don't think he can get healthy. Had back surgery - ironically at OSU Medical Center - and a nerve was cut. No feeling in his lower right leg, and eventually he's going to lose that leg.
Nah. At some point it passes from "tradition" to "ancient history." Yale probably still has more national football titles than anyone else....but not exactly a power.
Archie to Ohio State & Wilbur "Shooter" Flatch to the Hoosiers, done deal! Rumor is, he's going after Jimmy Chitwood, barbershop talk, TIFWIW!
Unless you're pop and Phil Jackson, probably not. NBA is very fickle business. As Cal has even said, one year you're in playoffs, the next you're looking for a job. There are more coaches with longevity but it's extremely rare.
I don't know how to link but there is a great article on SB Nation about how no coach is safe. The AVERAGE tenure of an NBA coach is 2.4 years.
Ohigh state should go after ricky 3stax. he would have a chance to build on his legacy (not just via all the columbus skanks) by trying to become the first coach to win nc's at three different schools.
Both he and izzo have some years left, and along with up and comers r3stax jr at minny, archie at iu, he would bring instant notoriety to the big whatever.
I say this somewhat jokingly, but i see it as a real win-win for osu and rp. osu has the resources to throw big bucks at a hof coach to jumpstart their program, and bring it up to a par with their football program.
It would be a fresh start for him and a chance to get out of town and away from all the sordid publicity surrounding duh vill, at least until he creates a new chapter of sleaze.
RP has the ego to make such a move. imo

I get that, but I get the feeling that Brad is going to be one of those that is going to be successful in the league. He's got the right demeanor and the right coaching mind.

McDermott from Creighton turns Ohio State down. Will they get down the list to Clap Clap Clappy? ![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")

That's surprising to me. Ohio St is a jump up from ...Creighton???
Starting to wonder if Matta was kicked out in a manner that other coaches don't like.
he really could be, i was just thinking about all the colleges that would want him IF he didn't. I hope he doesnt go to Duke.
I think his likely choices would be Duke or IU. He grew up a Knight and IU Fan, plus the Knight - K connection for Duke.
That's what I was thinking too. Someone will take it though. It's too big to be passed up by most coaches out there.
As for McDermott, don't forget that Warren Buffett is a Creighton fan. Maybe that's worth something.
