Boston Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry is one of several people expected to draw the interest of the University of Massachusetts athletic department as the school searches for a new men's basketball head coach, per a report from SI.com's Pete Thamel.

UMass fired coach Derek Kellogg after the team bowed out of the A10 tournament in the second round with a loss to St. Bonaventure. According to UMass athletic director Ryan Bamford, the school hopes to have a new coach in place before the end of the month "at the latest."

Here's Thamel on the UMass' coaching search:

Vermont's (John) Becker, Towson's Pat Skerry and Monmouth's King Rice are the most logical head coaching options for this spot. Miami assistant Chris Caputo and Boston Celtics assistant Micah Shrewsberry (formerly of Butler and Purdue) are also expected to draw interest.

Thamel notes that St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt's family roots could make him interested in the UMass position, and that Florida Gulf Coast's Joe Dooley knows how to win, which could pique the interest of the Minutemen. John Becker and Vermont made the NCAA tournament this year as a 13 seed and will take on four-seed Purdue.

Shrewsberry coached the Celtics' Summer League team for the past two seasons, working with Boston's young players and prospects during their first stints with the franchise. He was part of Brad Stevens' group of assistants that joined the Celtics after Doc Rivers left for the Los Angeles Clippers prior to the 2013-14 season. Shrewsberry got his start in the NCAA ranks -- he worked with Stevens at Butler from 2008-2011 before joining Purdue's staff from 2011-2013.
