Little did he know at the time, but Bill Belichick hosted the man who would become the Celtics’ interim coach during training camp this summer.
Celtics assistant Joe Mazzulla was named the interim head coach on Friday following Ime Udoka’s year-long suspension.
Belichick held his weekly Friday press conference around the same time the Celtics addressed the media for the first time in the wake of the Udoka scandal. Belichick was asked what his meeting with Mazzulla was like — and noticeably didn’t mention Udoka’s name.
“Yeah, [he] had a great opportunity to visit,” Belichick said.
