Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Brad Stevens plans to continue to pilot the front office of the Boston Celtics and declined to interview for the coaching vacancy at North Carolina, according to CBS Sports.
The former Butler coach hasn't had a sideline role since 2021 but reportedly was among high-profile targets of the Tar Heels after Hubert Davis was fired on Tuesday.
CBS reported Stevens passed on talking with the North Carolina search committee that also has been linked to Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, Michigan coach Dusty May, Iowa State's TJ Otzelberger and Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan.
Currently president of basketball operations for the Celtics, Stevens, 49, has been a common target for high-profile college coaching jobs. He has been named as a candidate for the job at his home-state university, Indiana, on multiple occasions, but each time turned down the opportunity.
