Maine Celtics hire Blaine Mueller as 2023-24 head coach

Blaine Mueller has been named as the new head coach for the Maine Celtics in preparation for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA G League season per a release by the G League team’s staff. The Watertown, Wisconsin native becomes the ninth head coach in the team’s history to take the reins for Boston’s Portland-based developmental affiliate.

Mueller’s appointment is noteworthy as it represents his first head coaching gig following a distinguished career as part of the Milwaukee Bucks’ coaching staff. He expressed his gratitude to Celtics team president Brad Stevens and Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla among others for the opportunity in Maine.

“I am eager to get to work with our staff to develop our players on and off the court, engage with the best fans in the G League, and experience all that Portland has to offer,” he added.

“Blaine is a great addition to our staff and is ready to lead the Maine Celtics,” said Mazzulla. “He brings great enthusiasm and knowledge off the court, and on the court is deliberate, energetic, and will build strong relationships with the players.”
