Phil Pressey, a former Boston Celtics player, is set to become the head coach of the Maine Celtics, the team's G League affiliate. Having played in the NBA for the Celtics from 2013-2015, Pressey transitioned to coaching and most recently served as Boston's player enhancement coach. His coaching philosophy reflects the leadership style of Celtics executive Brad Stevens, whom he credits for instilling confidence in players. This coaching hire appears to be a strategic move for player development within the Celtics organization.
"He has an ability to give you confidence. As a player, he gave me confidence, and now as a coach, he gives me confidence. It doesn't matter if you're the number one on the team or the number eighteen."
"I get my energy from the coach turned executive. He talks about energy, and energy is vital to team dynamics and player development."
