Inside the D-II coaching bond shared by Mizzou hoops assistant Rob Summers, Celtics' Joe Mazzulla

When cooking for a college basketball team, the same one you coach, you develop a few culinary staples. They’re the sort of things that appeal to most palates and can be prepared in large quantities.

Rob Summers and Joe Mazzulla leaned on spaghetti, tacos, hamburgers and hot dogs.

“Sometimes it was OK,” Mazzulla said, laughing.

“We fed those guys,” Summers added.

Cooking was part of the job for them at NCAA Division II Glenville State, where they were both assistant coaches from 2011-2013. So was stocking the arena concession stand with Skittles and popcorn and driving the team to road games.
