Brad Stevens is building a team he should be coaching

It’s gotta be hard for Brad.

Once the floor general pacing the sidelines of TD Garden, Stevens now has the 50,000-foot view of the franchise as the team’s President of Basketball Operations. Instead of concentrating on the minutiae of the X’s and O’s, he’s now responsible for all the millions of dollars of the salary cap. Instead of focusing on winning just one game, he’s charged with winning games plural, seasons plural, and ultimately, raising banners plural.

After spending twenty years as a coach, he must miss it at times, especially now that he’s quickly built a team in his own image.
