In a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens made it known to the media and fans that head coach Joe Mazzulla would be back in that role for the 2023-24 NBA season.
Per Stevens, Mazzulla had an outstanding first year as coach, leading the team to a 57-win regular season in 2022-23 and the East’s second seed, taking the team to the brink in the Eastern Conference finals before falling to the Miami Heat in seven games. Mazzulla’s performance as a first-year coach was highly regarded by Stevens and the Celtics front office despite his inexperience showing in key junctures of the postseason.
To hear more about the finer details of Mazzulla’s body of work last season and how Boston’s front office views it, check out the clip embedded below courtesy of the folks behind the CBS Sports’ official YouTube channel.
