Brad Stevens Biography

Brad Stevens has had an incredible ride to one of the most prestigious jobs in basketball. Stevens played basketball at Depauw University and earned his degree in economics. Upon graduation, he pursued a successful career as a marketing associate at the Eli Lilly Company. However, his passion for the game of basketball was still there and he decided to pursue a career in collegiate athletics, joining the Butler University basketball office as a volunteer in 2000. In 2001 he moved up to being the coordinator of basketball operations and then jumped to being a full-time assistant coach in 2002.   

In 2007, after five years as an assistant, Stevens was named Butler's head coach at the age of 31, making him the youngest Division I head coach in the country. Age aside, Stevens quickly established himself as one of the best coaches in the country, leading the Bulldogs to 30-4 overall record and a Horizon League Championship in his first season. This would be the first of four consecutive Horizon League Championships. After making it to the second round of the 2007-08 NCAA Tournament and making another postseason appearance in 2008-09 as a Cinderella team the Bulldogs made it to the NCAA Championship the next two years.  

In 2013, after six seasons at Butler, Stevens signed a contract to coach the Boston Celtics. He spent eight years coaching the historic franchise, leading them to the playoffs in all but his first season. Three times under his watch, the C's made the Eastern Conference Finals.
