Former Celtics Player Rumored To Be Joining Pistons Coaching Staff

Former Boston Celtics players and coaches are well represented among NBA coaching staffs and there reportedly is another in the lineage who recently found a new gig.

Keith Bogans, who ended his playing career in Boston, is finalizing a deal to join the Detroit Pistons coaching staff according to ESPN’s Frank Isola.

Bogans is not the most decorated Celtics player of all time, suiting up for just six games as a role player in the 2013-14 season. The then 33-year-old veteran averaged 9.2 minutes per game for a fairly forgettable ]roster.

The 42-year-old Bogans joins a number of Celtics alumnus to head elsewhere, headlined by Will Hardy going from Celtics assistant in 2021-22 to head coach of the Utah Jazz. Rasheed Wallace, meanwhile, joined the Los Angeles Lakers’ staff and James Posey joined the Washington Wizards‘ staff, both as assistants to their respective organizations.
