Brad Stevens Out, UNC Rebuilds Coaching Search

0:00It's March 25th. This is Boston Celtics News Today. Your AI-powered team coverage. North Carolina fired head coach Hubert Davis on Tuesday, ending his three-year run with the Tar Heels and kicking off a high-profile coaching search. Right away. Speculation quickly turned to Brad Stevens, the Boston Celtics president of basketball operations as a top candidate. But he shut that down fast. Less than 12 hours after the news broke, sources told CBS Sports that Stevens took himself out of consideration for the job. Stevens has built a powerhouse in Boston, including an NBA title, with stars like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown locked in long-term, making his front, office row, one of the best around. At 49 years old, and away from coaching since the 2021 season, he might have no plans to return to the sidelines anytime soon, leaving North Carolina to look elsewhere as they rebuild.
