Is Joe Mazzulla struggling to coach the Boston Celtics? While his overall body of work says he is the man for the job (and was why the Celtics promoted him from his previous interim status), some recent stumbles have had some high-profile analysts questioning Mazzulla’s coaching chops.
The attention being paid to his use (or lack of) timeouts has dominated such criticism, but his tactical mistakes, rotations, and use of certain players has drawn the ire of fans and analysts both. Is the West Virginia alum learning too much of the finer details of his job on the fly?
The eponymous host of the “Bill Simmons Podcast” linked up with The Ringer’s Ryen Russilo to talk it over.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about Mazzulla’s coaching of late.
