Brad Stevens Nixes Indiana Rumors, Adamant About Staying In Boston

Share this: Brad Stevens once coached college basketball in the state of Indiana, but the Boston Celtics head coach has no plans of returning to that world. After Indiana parted ways with Tom Crean as its head coach, many expected Stevens — an Indiana native — would be in the running to be the next Hoosiers coach. Stevens, however, has no inclination to leave his current job, as he shared with reporters Friday night. “I don’t speak to the rumor mill or anything else,” he told reporters. “I’ve made it pretty clear I’m going to be here (Boston). I’ve been asked about that quite a bit. And I’ll keep saying the same thing. I’m going to be here until the Celtics decide they

Is Steelers’ Mike Tomlin A Great Coach? Terry Bradshaw Doesn’t Believe So

Share this: One of the most important Pittsburgh Steelers of all time appears to have an issue with the team’s current head coach.

Apparently not much. “I don’t think he’s a great coach at all,” Bradshaw said on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak For Yourself,” as transcribed by ESPN.com. “He’s a nice coach.

While young talents frequently are put in a position to prove themselves against more established veterans, the questions directed at VanZant rarely have been about the caliber of opponent she’s about to face.
