The Boston Celtics have made significant additions to their coaching staff by hiring experienced coaches Sam Cassell and Charles Lee for assistant roles under head coach Joe Mazzulla to address the need for more expertise and experience within the team’s coaching ranks.
Cassell, a former three-time NBA champion player (including one title with Boston), and longtime assistant coach, brings a wealth of knowledge and a winning mentality to the Celtics. Lee, a highly regarded head coaching candidate, has also joined the staff. While there may be speculation about Cassell and Lee potentially becoming head coaches in the future, their focus will be on supporting Mazzulla.
The Celtics’ coaching additions have been received positively and expected to have an impact on the Celtics’ coaching next season.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast recently linked up with Spotrac’s Keith Smith to talk about the coaching hires and Boston’s offseason more generally.
