Brad Stevens exits Butler for Boston (1 Viewer)

The move turns the tradition-bound franchise over to a mentor who is younger than Garnett and wasn't yet born when Bill Russell won his 11th NBA championship in 1969 (or even when John Havlicek added two more in the 1970s). It's the first time the Celtics have hired a college coach since Rick Pitino in 1997, and their first coach with no NBA experience of any kind since Alvin "Doggie" Julian gave way to Red Auerbach in 1950.

Not a bad gig. He gets paid to take over an obviously rebuilding team and if he gets canned will have his pick of the CBB teams

It's a nice lateral move.
