For which 2012 NBA team was Tyronn Lue an Assistant Coach?

For the 2012 NBA season, Tyronn Lue was an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics. He served on Doc Rivers's coaching staff during the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons.

Lue joined Boston in 2009 after ending his 11-year playing career, initially working as the Celtics' director of basketball development. He moved into an assistant-coaching role in 2011, giving him an early start in the coaching career that later led to NBA championships and head-coaching positions.

The Celtics of that period included veterans such as Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. Boston reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2012 but lost to the Miami Heat in seven games. Lue remained with the organization through 2013 before joining the Los Angeles Clippers as an assistant.

A frequent mix-up is confusing Lue's later roles. He became an associate head coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014 and took over as Cleveland's head coach in 2016, but his assistant-coach job in 2012 was with Boston.
