Sam Cassell Joins Celtics Coaching Staff, Linked to Top Assistant.
Former Boston Celtics player Eddie House believes that the hiring of Sam Cassell as an assistant coach is a great move for the team. Cassell's extensive experience as both an NBA player and coach will help him get through to the players and his three-time championship-winning background will make his words resonate. The Celtics lacked a coach with significant NBA experience last season, and Cassell's presence should benefit not only the players but also head coach Joe Mazzulla. The team is still searching for coaches following Cassell's hire.
