Brian Scalabrine: There might be ‘a lot’ of Celtics assistants leaving to coach under Ime Udoka

Brian Scalabrine said he’s about 65-70 percent sure that Joe Mazzulla will return as head coach of the Boston Celtics next season.

However, he’s less sure about the assistants who are on Mazzulla’s staff.

“I heard there might be a lot of guys leaving to go with Ime Udoka who hasn’t really hired that many assistant coaches down in Houston,” Scalabrine said during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.”They might get a new staff, they might have some guys that are former players and some former head coaches.”

Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported that Udoka is expected to offer jobs to assistants who stayed in Boston after he left.
