Celtics owner: Brad Stevens would be 'fantastic' Team USA coach

SALEM, N.H. -- Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca has deep ties with Duke University and coach Mike Krzyzewski. Pagliuca played freshman basketball at Duke as an undergraduate and his sons, Joe and Nick, both played under Krzyzewski.

Krzyzewski is handing off his Team USA whistle to Gregg Popovich after winning gold in Rio. After observing Krzyzewski during his tenure with Team USA, Pagliuca was asked if he might like to see Celtics coach Brad Stevens in that post down the road.
