Despite making a point of affirming his ties to the Boston Celtics on local sports radio, the rumors attempting to link Celtics head coach Brad Stevens to the coaching vacancy at Indiana University continue to circulate.
While none seem to be more than speculation, the thirst for fans of the flagship program of Stevens’ home state of Indiana to hire the Celtics coach has since only grown stronger. But those close to Stevens relay they have heard nothing whatever regarding such a move, and that those persons doubt it will happen despite the rising tide of chatter circulating among Hoosier fans and in the college basketball media sphere more generally.
I’ve talked to a lot of people close to Brad Stevens today, and not one thinks he’ll actually take the Indiana job.
Just sayin’.
