CLEVELAND – Tyronn Lue began his coaching career with the Boston Celtics back in 2011. Now, four and a half years later, he’ll face his former team as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Lue joined Doc Rivers’ coaching staff with the Celtics as an assistant for the 2011-12 season, two years after he had retired as a player. Those around him quickly realized that he had a knack for the coaching side of things.
Jared Sullinger joined the Celtics during Lue’s second season with the team. The big man said that Lue’s demeanor stood out to him from the very beginning of their relationship, which began with Lue as Sullinger's head coach during the Orlando Pro Summer League.
