Celtics add Jerome Allen to their coaching staff

Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Saturday that the team is in the process of adding former Penn coach Jerome Allen to his staff.

The 42-year-old Allen played in the NBA and overseas, including part of one season with an Indiana Pacers team that Stevens grew up rooting for, before embarking on a college coaching career at his alma mater.

Allen's addition would fill the void left when Darren Erman left to join Alvin Gentry's staff with the New Orleans Pelicans.
