THE SHOTGUN THROWDOWN: Joe Mazzulla advances to the NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

MAZZULLA AND THE CELTICS

Former West Virginia guard Joe Mazzulla and the Boston Celtics are heading to the 2022 NBA Finals, following their Eastern Conference Finals win over the Miami Heat. Mazzulla has been an assistant coach with Boston for three seasons and has started to become one of the more visible assistants, commonly joining head coach Ime Udoka on the sidelines to give instructions to the Celtics.

Mazzulla’s success as an assistant coach with Boston could make him a potential target for future head coach position openings.
