Holy ****....Brad Stevens to the Celtics!

Bo Ryan to Butler?? Why not?? :D

Reached @LaVall_Jordan, who would have to be a lead Butler candidate. He declined to comment.

6 years 22 million........that is quite a raise from what he was making at Butler....

Matt Graves took the South Alabama job.

This move is a shocker, but in thinking about it, I'd rather lose Stevens now, than a year from now, where it could be thought of as a failure of the conference.

VS

The Butler board wants Lavall Jordan. He is now ast at Mich, was at Iowa. He is an alum of Butler.

I must say that I never saw this one coming. He really has put Butler in a tough spot, which I never thought he would do. I can't see him in the NBA, long term, but he will make a boatload of money even if he fails.

Butler took a chance on Stevens and it paid off. I hope they find similar success.

Wardle to Butler.

Someone on scoop posted they would have an announcement this evening. Perhaps they were prepared for this. Stevens did seem interested in UCLA and other opportunities of late.
