Longtime Boston Celtics assistant coach Jamie Young said his farewells in a prepared statement he posted to Instagram (h/t to Forbes Sports’ Chris Grenham for the find) recently, bidding his employer of two decades and their fans goodbye after a ride that is rarely seen in the NBA for an assistant.
“Thank you,” wrote Young. “For 20 years I was blessed to go to work at a place that I loved and gave 110% every day since the moment I got here.” The Celtics assistant’s career spanned all of previous team president Danny Ainge’s in Boston as an executive and then some, his tenure ending with the offseason shakeup that moved new team president Brad Stevens into Ainge’s role and head coach Ime Udoka into Stevens’ former position.
“The Celtics and the city of Boston will have a huge lasting impact on my life and my family’s life that I will forever be grateful for,” added Young.
Former Celtics assistant coach Jamie Young with a heartfelt tribute to his time in Boston on IG:
"Nobody will ever be able to take away what this place has meant to me and my family. Thank you Boston for accepting this Indiana born but Boston made guy."
