I liked Brad Stevens as a coach, and not just because of his demeanor with the officials. He seemed like he was always giving his players positive reinforcement. If a player was screwing up he was quick to pull them, give him a few words, then pat them on the back on the way to the bench. When the team would have rough patches he would call time-out and you could tell his first words were positive. Players weren't coming off the court be greeted by a bunch of "what the **** are you doing out there?"

You should turn back his games after you put that kool-aid cup down.
