Stevens reportedly claimed he isn’t a candidate for the Indiana job opening.
Brad Stevens crushed the hopes of Indiana fans yet again on Friday, telling the Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman that’s he’s not a candidate for the Hoosiers’ men’s basketball coaching job and is quite happy with the Boston Celtics.
Stevens is always linked to the job whenever it’s open, which has been relatively often over the past decade or so, and each time he has denied that he’s a candidate to take it. If you’re in charge of making the decision, you owe it to yourself and everyone invested to get that “no” out of one of the best basketball minds on the planet who happens to be from the state.
Well, this time that public no came in February. Usually this happens in March or April. From here on out, the search can now get a bit more interesting.
We’ve been assembling a list of candidate profiles that we’ll only be adding to this week. Check out our thoughts on Buzz Williams and take a peek at the full list of profiles. Keep an eye out for more profiles on Wednesday and Friday!
