Joe Mazzulla … hockey guy?

Based on the Celtics head coach’s latest musings, it seems like he wants some of the rules on the ice to carry over to the hardwood.

During his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Zolak & Bertrand”, Mazzulla pitched the idea of incorporating power plays into basketball.

“Basketball is one of the only sports that doesn’t have a power play,” Mazzulla said. “Let’s say you get a technical or let’s say you get a take foul, you get the one shot, but you’re not really rewarded for that, because if you miss it, you don’t get the reward for the take foul.
