We are left with cloudy clues on who Sam Presti will hire to coach the local basketball team. But who Presti will hire and who he would like to hire are not necessarily the same thing. Who Presti would like to hire is clear as Buckingham Palace crystal.
Brad Stevens.
Oh, Presti is like anyone else with a hoops squad. If Gregg Popovich or Rick Carlisle or Mike Krzyzewski would sign on, he’d pop a cork and dance a jig. But those giants are pipe dreams. Stevens was not. He’s untouchable now. But that wasn’t always the case.
