Former guard Joe Mazzulla was just named head coach at Fairmont State. Mazzulla, who had spent the past five years as an assistant coach with Glenville State and Fairmont State, spent the 2016-2017 as an assistant for the Maine Blue Claws of the NBA’s Developmental League. Former Fairmont State coach Jarrod Calhoun had this to say about Mazzulla.
He’s the best skill-development guy I’ve ever seen. I think it’s his knowledge. He watches games every night. He’s a video guy. He watches games from Europe, of some of his former teammates. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
The Falcons reached the Division II national title game last season where they fell to Northwest Missouri State.
