From Butler to NBA, Stevens new Celtics Head Coach

[dbackjon]

Brad Stevens will be the next coach of the Boston Celtics, the team announced in a press release Wednesday.

Stevens, who just finished his sixth season at the school, led the Bulldogs to consecutive national title games in 2010 and 2011.

"Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years," Stevens said in a statement released by Butler University.

"We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are very thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together. What makes Butler truly unique is the people that we have been so blessed to work with. When it comes time for our kids to look at schools, we will start with Butler University."

Sad day for mid-major DI basketball, and to cap it off he is going to a Boston team.
