I doubt they can get him though.

And UNC isn't the NBA.

No, but it pays better.

Brad currently makes 3.67 mil a yr. Roy was making 3.9 mil. Brad wouldn't leave for an extra $23,000 and I'm not entirely sure UNC would offer Stevens Coach Williams current salary.

But thanks for the chuckle anyways.....I needed it.

Edited: The top 5 NBA coaches currently make over 8 million a year with Greg Popovich topping the list with $11 mil a year and Rick Carlisle at #5 with & 8 mil a year. https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-ne...u-stunned/ The top 5 Men's CB coaches make over $4 million with Calipari being the highest at $8 mil a year and at #5 is Rick Barnes at Tennessee at $4.7 million. https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salarie...all/coach/

I think the bigger issue is not whether he would accept the $23K raise, but if he would take it after he is fired by the Celtics--which he likely will be soon. Or, whether the blue bloods at NC would want to bring in a coach that recently was fired.

Personally, I think Stevens would be a great hire for them, but many who know better than I do suggest that they will want to go with someone with connections to their program.
