The Boston Celtics might be looking to add a new face to the ranks of their assistant coaches soon if a certain current assistant coach finds himself the next head coach of the Utah Jazz. The Salt Lake City Tribune‘s Andy Larsen reports that Celtics assistant coach Will Hardy is among the leading candidates to replace longtime Jazz head coach Quin Snyder in the 2022-23 season.
Per Larsen, ” it’s Celtics’ assistant Will Hardy that is considered by many league insiders to be a leading candidate at this point.” Given, as the SLC Tribune author notes, that Utah CEO Danny Ainge’s tenure in Boston did not overlap with Hardy’s, it is not a matter of personal relationships so much as the body of work put together by Hardy with the Celtics and San Antonio Spurs before that which has given him the perceived inside track.
Larsen also reports that Phoenix Suns assistant Kevin Young is another leading name from the pool of interviewees, which has included Celtics alumni Jerome Allen, Sam Cassell, and Joe Mazzulla among a large pool of candidates.
