New Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka made an appearance on the WEEI radio show “Gresh and Keefe” on Tuesday, and opened up a bit on how the team is coming together, what the weak points are, and how Udoka plans on turning them into strengths, among other topics of conversation.
The former assistant coach for several of Boston’s East rivals in recent years also got into talking about his experience as an assistant with Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. There, he got a head-start on working with All-Star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum on their way to winning Olympic Gold in Men’s 5×5 basketball.
“It was great overall,” said Udoka. “We finished the goal by getting the gold. It probably wasn’t the most realistic Olympic experience with no fans and not being able to go to the events, but overall we got the job done and that’s what everybody’s going to remember.”
