Boston Celtics assistant Damon Stoudamire has been named Georgia Tech's new head coach. The two sides agreed to a five-year contract, according to sources.
He brings a blend of college and NBA coaching experience along with a strong playing pedigree, a mix Tech officials are hopeful can resuscitate the relevance of a program that has faded in recent years.
Stoudamire proved a solid head coach at Pacific, a stint that included a 23-10 season in 2019-20 yielding him the West Coast Conference Coach of the Year award. He went 32-19 his final two years and 71-77 overall at Pacific, leaving the job to join Ime Udoka on the Celtics staff prior to last season.
