Every single time I see an interview with this guy he amazes me even more with what he says and how he says it. Right after the Pitt game the first thing he said during the interview on court was complementing and consoling the Pitt players for the way that game ended, right after the Florida game he told Billy Donovan that Billy outcoached him and then proceeded to complement and console the Florida players on a great game. Immediately after the VCU game he was complementing them on a great season and how VCU inspired his team. The post game interview has him stating his care and love of his players and how hard it is to talk about the actual game due to his 5 seniors that are leaving and what they mean to him personally. I know coaches routinely congratulate the losing team but I really think this man is genuine in what he says and is not doing it for the "routine". This guy is the absolute HOTTEST coach that has come along in a very long time. Class act thru and thru and any university that could ever get him to leave Butler and head up their basketball program is one lucky university. Never say Never, but I would be shocked if his program EVER came under suspicion for any rules violations. I think he is one of the most honest, classy, straight forward coaches to come along in a VERY long time. Sort of reminds me of a young Coach K and if my 7 year old ever comes home and says Brad Stevens wants him to play basketball at his school, then I will do whatever I can to help him pick that school - NO MATTER THE SCHOOL and yes that includes LOUISVILLE AND INDIANA. That is how much I respect the coaching job and how he carries himself and presents himself.

I guess Billy Donovan after winning the second in a row is about as close of a hot comodity as is Brad Stevens. The major difference between the two of them is Billy the Kid did it with several more future NBA players than Brad, plus at a major school and Billy the Kid was known before winning those championships as a good coach. Brad Stevens was dropped into college basketball by the tooth fairy last year. I never even heard of the man until last year but maybe the hottest coach that 99.99% of the universities in america would take in a heartbeat today. I would bet if you held a gun to the heads of the athletic directors of the top 100 basketball universities and told them to pick Brad Stevens or their current coach, about 90 of them would take Brad Stevens in a heartbeat, a couple would pause for a minute then take Brad Stevens and only a couple would stand pat with the coach that they have.
