The native of Portland, Oregon, would leave Pacific after a .500 finish during the COVID-19-altered 2020-2021 season to join former Celtics head coach Ime Udoka’s staff in Boston. With Stoudamire, who played 13 years in the NBA, on the bench, the Celtics went 51-31 in 2021-22, reaching the NBA Finals where they lost the title in six games to the Golden State Warriors.
Stoudamire's track record gave him traction among UA players as a potential candidate to take over at his alma mater after Miller was fired after the 2020-2021 season; Arizona of course plucked another WCC name instead — Tommy Lloyd, then an assistant at Gonzaga.
