Brad Stevens dispels Indiana Hoosiers rumor

With the news that Mike Woodson was stepping down as Indiana Hoosiers head coach, speculation arose on whether the university would try to swing for the fences and bring Brad Stevens back to his home state. Stevens thankfully has preemptively shot down that rumor.

Stevens, the president of basketball operations for the defending champion Boston Celtics, told Field of 68 on Friday that he is not a candidate to replace coach Mike Woodson, who won't return to the Hoosiers after this season. "I thoroughly appreciate being a Celtic and love the people I get to work with every day," Stevens told the media network.

Hopefully whoever becomes the new owner of the Boston Celtics franchise doesn't do…
