I heard yesterday from some guys with connections at NCSU that they are about to throw 3.5 at Brad Stevens. I hope that isn't true beacause that is the kind of money that makes things happen.

From a story Van Pelt's sidekick on ESPN radio repeated ad nauseum a few days ago, Stevens quit his job that was making him decent money to be an unpaid assistant at Butler. The dude might just be wired differently, who knows what would persuade him.
If he doesnt think Butler can continue to be a contender (at least for next year) he would be stupid not to take the multi million dollar offers which will pour in over the next few days... But on the flip side, he could probably get those offers even after a down year or two.. Who knows whats in this guy's head.. If he doesn't take a huge offer then he must truly love his job there and for that I respect the hell out of him (but im still jealous:tear
ESPN did a piece a few weekends back where they went to Butler and talked to Stevens and his wife and had them give a little tour of Butler's bball facilities. Basically, the Stephens came across as loving Butler and the community there and having no desire to leave. The facilities were worse than some high school programs I've seen but Brad liked that and said he had what he needed to get the job done. He truly seemed to care more about the university and community and his players than getting a big paycheck.
