Brad Stevens Stays with Celtics, North Carolina Hires Michael Malone

0:00On April 8th, people were buzzing last month about Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens landing the head coaching gig at North Carolina, but Stevens shut that down quick, saying he's all in on his current role and loving every minute of it. Earlier this week, he made it crystal clear on 98.5 the sports hub, stressing he's not looking to switch things up anytime soon.
