Boston Celtics assistant coach Tyler Lashbrook advances in talks for Blazers HC job

[ASFN Admin]

Boston Celtics assistant coach Tyler Lashbrook might be carrying a clipboard for a new ball club -- and in a new, elevated role per recent reporting from Stein Line contributor Jake Fischer. Per the Stein Line, Lashbrook has advanced in talks with the Portland Trail Blazers to become their next head coach.

The Celtics assistant is also joined by Utah Jazz assistant coach Mike Williams as additions to previously reported candidates for the gig last held by interim head coach Tiago Splitter after the parting of ways with fellow Celtics alum Chauncey Billups in the wake of his federal indictment.

Fischer also notes "various candidates will fly into Portland this weekend as the process continues."

"Portland's search has been multilayered to date and thus challenging even for NBA coaching insiders to track," shares the Stein Line.

Especially "given that some candidates have spoken primarily to Blazers general manager Joe Cronin, while others have spoken directly to new Blazers owner Tom Duncan and some have spoken to both."
