Georgia Tech will hire Boston Celtics assistant Damon Stoudamire as the school’s new head coach, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Jeff Borzello.
The contract for Stoudamire is for five years, as he will quickly replace Josh Pastner, who was fired last week after seven seasons with the school.
Stoudamire’s hire is expected to be approved by the university’s board of trustees on Monday, as he looks to revive a Yellow Jackets program that has struggled to remain relevant in the ACC.
