Before the 2022-23 season, the 34-year-old was elevated fromassistant coach to interim head coach in the wake of Ime Udoka'sseason-long suspension for having an inappropriate relationshipwith a female staff member.

Despite this being his first head coaching opportunity, theCeltics have continued their strong play after advancing to the NBAFinals last summer.

More than halfway through the season, the Celtics are 42-17,which is the best record in the NBA.
