Despite persistent rumors that he might be interested in the coaching job at Bloomington, Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens reiterated on Friday that he was not interested in the job.
When asked on Friday if he was considering coaching in Indiana, Stevens replied, “I said it the other day: I’m not.”
Stevens continued: “And I tried to say it as clearly as possible and make sure people understand that this place is special to me.” Because I don’t want to give the impression that it isn’t. But, as I said the other day, I’m very grateful to this organization and to the people here, and for all that they have done for us.

Rumors have circulated that Stevens could take on the head coach job in Indiana after Archie Miller was fired on Monday afternoon.
Stevens, who grew up in Indiana and attended IU games as a child, coached Butler to two NCAA Championship appearances before taking over as coach of the Boston Celtics. He is currently in his eighth year with the Celtics.
“I’m not a kid anymore,” Stevens said Friday. “I am a 44 year old Masshole. I push others aside when I drive, eat Dunkin Donuts, and cheer on the Patriots.
