Report: Celtics assistant Damon Stoudamire to take Georgia Tech head coaching job

The Boston Celtics’ coaching staff will see perhaps more turnover than usual this coming offseason.

The Boston Celtics’ coaching staff might undergo more turnover than usual this offseason. ESPN senior writer Adrian Wojnarowski, Peter Thamel and Jeff Borzello are reporting that assistant Celtics coach Damon Stoudamire is in talks to become the next head coach of Georgia Tech.

The trio reported “Stoudamire has informed the Celtics he plans to take the job and make the move” to helm a Division I program in the Atlantic Coast Conference that had been coached for the last seven seasons by former Memphis head coach Josh Pastner. In an unusual twist, Stoudamire worked as an assistant under Pastner in Memphis from 2011 to 2013 before moving on to the same role at his alma mater of Arizona, where Pastner also attended.

Stoudamire returned for one more season with Memphis before landing the head coach job at Pacific. He joined the Celtics as part of Ime Udoka’s staff last season.

Per the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Stoudamire has informed the team of his decision, and the Celtics reportedly have no immediate plans to fill his vacancy.
