Two familiar faces will no longer be on the Boston Celtics sidelines at the start of next season according to the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach. Assistant coaches Jay Larrañaga and Jamie Young will depart to new opportunities to make way for the staff of recently-hired new head coach Ime Udoka.
Larrañaga has been with the team dating back to the Doc Rivers era, and Young predates even that, spanning back to the Jim O’Brien era when he was brought on as a video coordinator for the team on the recommendation of now-Los Angeles Lakers head coach and former roommate Frank Vogel.
With the confirmation that San Antonio Spurs assistant Will Hardy will be joining the coaching ranks in Boston and others rumored to be in the running as well, this was expected if an end of a considerably long era.
