The Braves have appointed Joe Mazzulla as their full-time head coach in lieu of Ime Udoka, who lost his job due to his actions off the court. Mazzulla’s leadership and performance with the club have them leading the NBA’s Eastern Conference.
In this way, at the age of just 34, Joe Mazzulla becomes the 19th head coach in Boston Celtics history. Even though he took over the position temporarily while Ime Udoka served a one-year suspension for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a female employee, Mazzulla has proven that he is capable of leading one of the league’s most illustrious teams.
Even though the specifics were kept under wraps, this name was associated with a contract extension that guaranteed him a deal for the foreseeable future as well as years to come.
Brad Stevens, the president of basketball operations for the Celtics and a former head coach of the team, described Mazzulla as the youngest head coach in the NBA and a very talented leader and coach.
He possesses a special talent for energizing a space surrounding a goal. Stevens said in a statement, “We are happy that he has decided to guide us into the future and appreciate the effort he has made to help us get to this position.
