Dallas for business one week early on in Larry Bird’s coaching career. Don Nelson was being interviewed in his weekly radio show & the host ask him about Bird’s successful transition as a coach & if Nelson thought he had a good chance to be the coach of the year. Nelson scoffed & laughed it off dismissively.
For many of those guys, they can’t stand that somebody traveled a different path for one of those gigs. He’s clearly a freaking basketball savant & he’ll have a ton more votes when it comes to the media’s vote.
Also, if the NBA suddenly blew up the teams & coaches and held a coaching draft, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Stevens was the top pick for every owner in league.
