Not only does Stevens have no NBA experience, he did well at a very small college and didn't have the pressure of heading a major program like. Better coaches have fared poorly in the NBA and I am feeling he willl be no different and seek a return to the college game in a few years.Boston has thrown in the towel. They have given up on even making the playoffs in next seasons. They will finish just above the Raptors or Wizards in the east.
I think your utterly wrong on this one. The guy did well at a small school despite not having all the players and resources. This shows me he can win despite his talent to some degree and also get the most out of his players.
We should lose a lot in his first year. We want a high lottery pick. I think it will take 2-3 years but we will start winning.
Pitino and Cal were prisoners to their system. They also were control freaks that should have not been GMs or have GM power. That works when you can yank a scholarship. It doesn't work in the NBA. He had to get along with others at Butler because his talented guys could transfer.
I bet he has forgot more about basketball than you have known, Eugen.
