Long-time TV commentator and former NBA head coach Jeff Van Gundy, has officially joined the Boston Celtics as a ‘Senior Consultant’ for the 2023-24 season. Why is this important for the team, and what does it say about Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens‘ approach to the ball club’s campaign ahead?
The move has sparked discussions among basketball enthusiasts, and while it may not be the headline-grabbing hiring of a head coach or star player, it carries its own significance within the team’s framework. Unlike an assistant coach or a core staff member, he takes on the senior consultant position.
Still, how will this manifest in his work with the Boston and Maine Celtics at the G League level?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast took a long look at the hire on a recent episode; check it out above!
