from Christian Science Monitor:

Butler's young Brad Stevens fits the bill. He quit a job in marketing to volunteer as an assistant to Butler's basketball coach. He was set to start working at Applebee's to make ends meet when a basketball job opened up at Butler. That led to an assistant coaching spot and, three years ago, the head coach position.

In his third year, Mr. Stevens has taken Butler, already a good team, to its first-ever Final Four.

As you might expect, he is paid a lot less than the older, more experienced coaches at the three other major-conference teams in the Final Four. His 2010 compensation hasn't been officially disclosed (at least, our crack research librarian Leigh Montgomery couldn't find it). But in 2008, Butler paid him a little under $400,000 in salary and benefits, according to Guidestar.org.

Well that salary is about to change...a rising star indeed.

Will Butler be able to keep him?

I seriously doubt it. What big time openings are still available?

For Brad Stevens, any big time job at a school that wants to win.

he said "big time"

Hey if we could get him maybe we would become big time. He did a hell of a job coaching those Butler kids. Great game!

I would have no qualms if we fired Doh and landed Brad Stevens...we'd have to get another Circle of Champions to do that, though.

DePaul hired Clemson coach Oliver Purnell. Clemson job is now open.

Donahue leaves Cornell for BC job. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entr ... 4/20762937

The one "big" jobs currently open are Clemson and Oregon.
