Longtime NBA guard Damon Stoudamire has been hired as Georgia Tech’s men’s basketball coach.
FILE - Boston Celtics assistant coach Damon Stoudamire, filling in for interim head coach Joe Mazzulla, draws up a play during a time out in the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Houston Rockets on Dec. 27, 2022, in Boston. Stoudamire was hired Monday, March 13, 2023, as Georgia Tech's men's basketball coach.
Stoudamire was a collegiate star at Arizona, helping lead the Wildcats to the 1994 Final Four. He was selected No. 7 overall in the 1995 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors and earned rookie of the year honors. The Yellow Jackets reached the Final Four for the first time in 1990, and made it all the way to the national championship game in 2004 under Cremins' successor, Paul Hewitt.
Other than that surprising run to the ACC Tournament title and a one-and-done appearance in the NCAAs in 2021, Pastner's program showed little signs of progress over his seven-year stint.
