Damon Stoudamire has agreed to become a Celtics assistant coach on Ime Udoka’s staff, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.

He put together a 71-77 record as head coach, taking over a team that went 8-20 before he arrived. Pacific went 23-10 in 2019-20, and Stoudamire was named West Coast Conference Coach of the Year.
Stoudamire averaged 13.6 points and 6.1 assists during his 13-year NBA career.
