INDIANAPOLIS — Brad Stevens coached his 377th NBA game last night. That’s 162 more than the 215 he coached at Butler.
“Really?” said the Celtics’ leader when presented with the analytics. “Wow.”
Wry guy that he is, Stevens then added, “And over all that time here, we’ve probably had as many practices as we had in one year at Butler.”
He spent six seasons with the Bulldogs and is now in his fifth with the Celts. The most games he ever coached in college was 38, and those were in the two years Butler made it all the way to the NCAA title game.
