COACH’S BIOGRAPHY
BRAD STEVENS HEAD COACH NBA Playoff Head Coaching Record: 38-39 (.494) Season in NBA: 8th Seasons with Boston: 8th
Brad Stevens begins his eighth season as Head Coach for the Boston Celtics. He was named the 17th head coach in the history of the Boston Celtics on July 3, 2013. In his seventh season in Boston, the Celtics posted a record of 48-24 (.667) under Stevens and a third appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals in four seasons. The 66.7 percent winning percentage is the second highest of Stevens’ tenure. Stevens’ career record now stands at 318-246 (.564) in his seven seasons with the Celtics. Stevens posted the 300th win of his NBA career against the Orlando Magic on January 24 in an 109-98 Celtics win. He has the fourth-most wins amongst all coaches in Celtics history and passed K.C. Jones to take fourth place with a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 21, 2020. In his sixth season in Boston, Stevens led the Celtics to a 49-33 record (.597) which placed them in to a first round series against Indiana during which the Celtics completed their first 4-0 sweep since the 2010-11 season. The Celtics would then fall to the Bucks 4-1 in the second round. On January 21, 2019 in a 107-99 win over the Heat Stevens recorded his 250th career win. In his fifth season in Boston, Stevens led the Celtics to a 55-27 record and a second consecutive appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals and one game from appearing in the NBA Finals after a Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the ECF. This marked the first time that the Celtics had made consecutive appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals since the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons. In his fourth season in Boston, Stevens led the Celtics to an Eastern Conference-best record of 53-29 record as well as an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals against Cleveland. Stevens earned the honor of coaching the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the 2017 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans. He is the sixth Celtics head coach to earn the honor joining Red Auerbach, Tom Heinsohn, K.C. Jones, Doc Rivers, Bill Fitch and Chris Ford.
In his third season with the Celtics, Stevens led the team to a playoff appearance and finished with a 48-34 record. He became just the third coach in franchise history to win NBA Coach of the Month multiple times when he was named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for the second time during the month of February when the team posted an Eastern Conference-best 9-3 record. Stevens recorded his first career playoff victory on April 22 when they beat the Atlanta Hawks 111-103 in Boston. In his second season with the Celtics, Stevens led the team to a playoff appearance with a furious finish to the season. After starting the season 16-30 the team finished the season 23-12 to clinch the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. During the month of April when the team was 7-1 he was named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month and became the fifth Celtic Head Coach to win the award joining K.C. Jones, Jimmy Rodgers, Chris Ford and Glenn “Doc” Rivers. Stevens, 39, joined the Celtics after coaching Butler University where he boasted a 166-49 record, four league regular season championships, three league tournament titles and six trips to post-season tournament play. He has the top two single season win totals in Butler and Horizon League history, and he became the only coach in school history to lead a team to the NCAA Division I national championship game which he did twice. Stevens owns two Horizon League Coach of the Year awards and has rewritten the NCAA record book for Best Coaching Starts by Wins. During the 2012-13 season, he moved into the top spot on the six-year list with 165 victories. He captured the five-year record (139), moving ahead of Everett Case of North Carolina State (1947-51) in 2011-12, and he owns the three-year (89) and four-year (117) records. He is second on the two-year list with 56 wins.
In his debut season with Butler (2007-08) he guided Butler to their first 30-win season. The Bulldogs were ranked in the “Top 25” of the AP and ESPN/USA Today national polls for 19 consecutive weeks, including a record three weeks in the “Top 10”. At the age of 31, he became the third- youngest Division I coach to guide his team to 30 wins and was the youngest coach to do so in more than half a century.
• Coached his first official NBA game against Toronto on October 30, 2013 • Earned his first win against Utah on November 6, 2013 • Became just the second head coach in NBA history to lose his first four (or more) games and then immediately follow that with a winning streak that brought his win-loss record back to .500.
