Assistant coach for NBA’s Boston Celtics

Scott Morrison, who previously coached for the NBA development league and for Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., has been named one of the assistant coaches for the NBA’s Boston Celtics.

After spending time in the lower leagues of basketball, Morrison is excited to be in the NBA.

“It will be nice next year to get to sit on the Celtics bench in the second row behind [the coach] and be a part of it,” said Morrison.

“I still have some places I’d like to get to after this and if you start being too happy about where you are then sometimes you forget to put those hours in that it takes to stay there and advance,” said Morrison.
