Ime Udoka will have an opening to fill on his coaching staff. According to multiple reports, the Utah Jazz have offered Celtics assistant Will Hardy their head coaching job, and Hardy will accept.
Hardy also worked with Udoka in San Antonio, and joined Boston as the team’s top assistant this past season when Udoka took over as head coach.
Hardy will become the youngest active coach in the NBA at 34 years old.

The Jazz had also reportedly interviewed another Celtics assistant, Joe Mazzulla. Of course, there is a notable connection between the Celtics and Jazz: former Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge joined Utah as the team's CEO this past December.
Hardy takes over for Quin Snyder, who stepped down earlier this month after eight seasons leading the Jazz.
