Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla’s inexperience showed during the NBA playoffs. Did Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers take advantage? What do you think?
A couple of months before the start of the NBA season, Joe Mazzulla was ticketed to be the second assistant on the bench for the Boston Celtics. At 34 years old, that was a pretty good gig.
And then fate intervened. Top assistant WIll Hardy was hired as the new coach of the Utah Jazz. Then, right before the start of training camp, head coach Ime Udoka was suspended for a violation of team policy involving a consensual relationship with an employee.
