I know nothing about Udoka except for what I've read here. I'm willing to give him a chance.

Apparently the J’s were high on him having coached them in the olympics so that’s good I guess

Ime Udoka was not as assistant coach with World Cup 2019 team but was court coach in practices under HC Gregg Popovich. Jason Tatum/Marcus Smart/Jaylen Brown all on roster, team finished 7th after losses to France&Serbia

Bad finish for sure

Will be interesting to see how he fills out his staff. Would love to see some former head coaching experience as an assistant to help him out, too. He assuredly has lots of contacts given his coaching experience in the league.

Is Ray Clifford still around or too old? Always had a soft spot for him with our bigs.

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?

For next season.  If Smart can clean up his shot selection ... it will help

Did you know that Ime Udoka is engaged to Nia Long? Don't understand how this could have gone unreported until now.
