Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots mutually agreeing to part ways was the biggest story in American sports on Thursday. Naturally, it drew reactions not just from within the NFL but outside as well.
Among those paying tribute to Belichick’s tenure with the Patriots was Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, who wore a hoodie with the sleeves cut off — a nod to Belichick’s iconic look — to a press conference on Thursday.
“I have a reaction as a coach, as a friend, as one of the best coaches of all time and just what he’s been able to do,” Mazzulla said.
