Wow.
Don't think that will end well for anybody, except Stevens' investment portfolio.

I can hear the sigh of relief all the way from Bloomington.

Actually, this may make Stevens to IU more, not less, likely.
College coaches rarely last more than 2-3 years in the NBA, just about the time IU might be in the market for a new coach if Crean keeps getting stuck in the Sweet 16.

I never predicted it, though any IU alum who knows basketball and people would have much preferred him to TC. Obviously Brad had his sights set considerably higher than Bloomington.

Same exact thing I thought.

I am Wow also, where did that come from.  

Usually these hires have some media leaks, but this was like in a vault.  

Stevens is in for a long year or years.  No Garnett, Pierce and maybe even Rondo.  It will be a re-building couple of seasons for him and Boston is a pressure town.  Best of luck to him.

No doubt Rondo will be a complete joy to work with in a rebuilding situation.
Seriously, if Rondo had issues with Doc Rivers, does anyone believe he'll give an ounce of respect to Boy Wonder?

Strange. Seemed like the kind of guy who chose quality of life and stability above upgrading programs...coaching pro athletes in Boston could not be more different than coaching college kids in Indianapolis. Guy's got ambition though, can't fault him for that (or for the serious bread he's about to earn). Sucks for the BE in any event.

Yeah, I have to think if (and maybe more likely "when") that issue arises that they will deal Rondo.

Tank for Wiggins?! We all know the NBA lottery will just so happen to select Boston if in that position.

Well the league better have been prepared for this outcome eventually. Sucks it's not even after a year or two.

Crazy. Bad bad bad for NBE.

I hope Butler does the same thing MU did when Crean bolted: hire a coach who can continue the success Stevens had.

Crean is solid at IU. They love him.

While this certainly doesn't help Butler, they've been through this (Collier, Matta, Lickliter) and managed to stay relevant. If anything, they're way better off now than they were when those guys left because of the new conference affiliation.

Rondo will most likely be gone.
