For the Celtics, Micah Shrewsberry is the Summer League Head Coach. Shrewsberry was an assistant for Stevens at Butler from 2008-2011 and rejoined Stevens in 2013 as a Celtics assistant. For the 76ers, Billy Lange is the Summer League Head Coach. Lange has been with the 76ers since 2013 and before that was with Villanova, Navy, Merchant Marine Academy, and La Salle. He got his coaching start at Philadelphia University under Head Coach Herb Magee in 1996.
