Joe Mazzulla NOT official head coach
We all knew that Joe Mazzulla was name the Celtics’ interim head coach, but with all success the team is currently having, speculation has erupted about whether or not he will be their head coach beyond this season.
The answer has finally come out but it is not what you are expecting. Boston will not remove the interim tag for Joe Mazzulla during the season. Furthermore, Boston is still up in the air on whether or not they will keep Mazzulla moving forward.
Good news for Mazzulla is that the team has guaranteed him that they won’t fire him if they are losing, he will stay for this season even if it gets rough.
Despite the Celtics having the best record in the entire league, Mazzulla is fully aware of what the Celtics are thinking and appears to be focusing on this season only; which makes sense, obviously.
The Celtics are evaluating Mazzulla as we won’t be hearing any breaking news regarding this position any time soon; in speculation only, I project the Celtics to reach a determination about the head coaching job in the offseason after the season has concluded and way before the draft.
