Brad Stevens '99 to Provide Keynote Address at Insurers' Convention

August 17, 2010, Greencastle, Ind. — Brad Stevens, head men's basketball coach at Butler University and 1999 graduate of DePauw University, will provide the keynote address at Keystone Insurers Group's annual national carrier meeting, September 27-29. The conference, which attracted more than 500 participants last year, will take place at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis.

An announcement notes, "Brad’s 88 wins are the most by an NCAA Division I coach in his first three seasons, and he's the youngest coach to take a team to the Final Four since 32-year-old Bob Knight with Indiana in 1973."

"Brad Stevens brings youth, vitality and an unmatched winning spirit to our annual meeting," states Lea Ann Hawk, vice president of Keystone Insurers Group's service division. "The American Independent Agency system is built on youth and vitality, and on achieving goals in an environment that requires a competitive, aggressive and creative approach."

              # deadspinvideo Brad Stevens has managed the inconceivable feat of taking the Butler Bulldogs to the NCAA tournament final two consecutive years.
