Boston Celtics first-year coach living out a dream
Joe Mazzulla was comfortably seated behind the Boston Celtics bench while the team was playing in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Fast forward to September, and he was going to be the one roaming the Celtics' sidelines.
It remains to be seen if his decisions will be the reason that some NBA picks become bad beats at some point. But Mazzulla, who at 34 years old became the youngest coach to take over a team that reached the NBA Finals since Lawrence Frank in 2003-04, is living the dream of many who get into coaching.
