"Down the concourse, Coach Brad Stevens sat inside a windowless office, about the size of a bedroom.

He played basketball at DePauw and slid immediately into a marketing job with Eli Lilly and Company.

About a year into a promising career, Stevens decided to follow his heart toward coaching.

He started as a volunteer in Butler’s basketball offices and was the coordinator of basketball operations under Thad Matta, now the Ohio State coach.

In 2001, he became an assistant the next season under Todd Lickliter, who left in 2007 to take the coaching job at Iowa. (He was fired Monday.)"
