Evan Bradds Gets A New Gig!
Only a UNC grad would say you can’t go home again.

Bradd is sort of a born lifer.
The grandson of Ohio State great Gary Bradds, the younger Bradds attended Belmont,where he really excelled. After graduation, he worked for the Maine Red Claws, then moved up to the mothership, the Boston Celtics, where he got a basketball Ph. D.
from Brad Stevens. He also worked for the Utah Jazz before coming to Durham to work for Jon Scheyer. Toss in his time playing for Rick Byrd with Belmont, and that guy has a heck of a basketball education.
We’re really looking forward to seeing what he can do there. We’re pretty sure he’s going to be successful and will make a lot of noise. Incidentally, the Scheyer coaching tree is still new, but with Jai Lucas and now Bradd, it’s growing fast.
