The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn (subscription required) has reported three coaches, Ben Sullivan, Aaron Miles, and Mike Moser, are leaving Joe Mazzulla and the Boston Celtics coaching staff to join spurned former Cs head coach Ime Udoka and the Houston Rockets.
Udoka and Boston, of course, have an interesting relationship.
In 2021, the Celtics hired Ime Udoka to become the head coach for the team. Udoka led the team to a 51-31 record, and more importantly, the Celtics made the NBA Finals, though they’d lose in six games. Last offseason, Udoka was suspended for the entire season after he violated team policies for having an improper relationship with a female staff member.
