Udoka separated himself quickly in Brad Stevens' search process, including significant support from Celtics players who were impressed with Udoka after working under him with Team USA in the World's.
Billups and Ham also had multiple interviews per Woj. Woj had said Friday that Cs were seeking second interviews for the three remaining candidates. So BS got this done quickly.
Based on his extensive assistant coaching experience, the Js and Smart reviews from his prior work with them, and his work with Pop, it's not hard to see why he won. His emphasis on defense would be be a plus too.
Does this mean Smart stays?
