Brad Stevens' story isn't storybook

I have enjoyed following Coach Steven's career since seeing him take Butler to the Final Four.
This article by Jackie MacMullan of ESPNBoston.com,  tells a great story of his rise from "director of basketball operations" at Butler to his current position as head coach of the Boston Celtics.

Stevens is not a perfectly packaged, made-for-TV prodigy. As his former college coach explains, "That's too simple."
It also sells Brad Stevens short. He not only endured his failures, he used them to thrive going forward.
The folksy wonder boy has carved out his own compelling narrative, chinks and all.
