The 49-year-old Stoudamire played 13 seasons in the NBA with Toronto, Portland, Memphis and San Antonio from 1995-2008. He's coached collegiately at Memphis, Arizona and Pacific, and he joined Boston's staff in 2021 under Ime Udoka.
In that time, fellow assistant Will Hardy got the Utah head coaching job, while Mazzulla was elevated to Boston head coach after Udoka was suspended.
