Anonymous Coach wonders why Brad Stevens gets so much media love

According to ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz, one anonymous NBA coach reached out to him to try and understand why Stevens is so beloved by the media and placed in such high regard.

Hayward went down? It’s OK, because you have the best shot-making point guard in the league. …

Sounds pretty salty especially since no coach gave him a COY vote.

Some discussion on drive-time Sirius radio suggests that this is a common sentiment among the coaching ranks. Supposedly many don't like him because he didn't have to "pay his dues" or come up the right way.
Sounds like a bunch of jealousy to me.

Very weird that a coach would reach out to a media member about this, right?

It’s the height of groupthink to say that Stevens is far and away the best coach. Some saying they would take him over any player in the league is udderly laughable. As for the voting, each coach voted for first place only. So him not getting any votes is really NBD.

I mean we can pump the brakes on GOAT or genius, but he's still pretty good. Time will tell.
I think we can all agree he wouldn't have Orlando back to contenders by now. So the Boston thing helps.

Stevens is a good coach and has done a good job.
It is a valid point that the media will build it up like he's doing this with smoke and mirrors. Horford is a 5 time allstar, Tatum and Brown are top 3 picks, Smart was picked 6th, Morris 14th and Rozier 16th.
It isn't like he's doing this with undrafted FA's. Even without Irving and Hayward, the Celts have some talented guys.
Again, he's still a good coach, just that the hype undersells the talent he still has.

Because AL horford is far from a superstar.
Hayward died in the first game.
Kyrie is missing in the playoffs right?
Top 3 picks are such "locks" to be stars or talented? I guess philly should have been vastly better off considering their process was what? 5?
Yeah he has the benefit of talent, but tell me what coach gets this far with rozier, smart, Tatum, hobbled brown, horford, Baynes, and Morris.
Thats just jealousy. Cleveland had how many top picks after Lebron and couldn't do shite.

Stevens is a hell of a coach, but the draft picks, players gotten through trades and FA have helped exponentially.
It’s not like he is winning with a bunch of nobody players.

NBA has always been about the players not the coach.
This isn't football.
Magic won an NBA title with Paul Westhead and then asked management to fire him because he thought Westhead was inhibiting him...Lakers fired him after winning a championship...and the Lakers kept on winning without him.
Bird won two NBA titles with KC Jones at the helm.
This was always understood.
Only today's fan is putting coaches on a pedastal.

So last year is brought up for this year?

they are just mad cause he didn't have to be an assistant for 10 years in the nba before he got a head job. he didn't have to go through "the grind." and he's a college coach. he's young.

Taking butler to back to back title games

Stevens is maybe the best coach in basketball at any level. If his Butler success and what the Celtics have done this year haven't proven that, nothing will.
90% of the NBA coaches are figure heads. Paying dues or whatever, they are cucks to the players and would have already been fired if they walked into what Stevens walked into when he got hired by Celtics.

I'm starting to understand why the "anonymous coach" isn't getting much media attention
