The Boston Celtics gave head coach Joe Mazzulla a multi-year contract extension earlier this month. That move affords the organization stability and gives its bench boss peace of mind. Both send a clear signal that can help get the best from the team in an expected gap year from title contention.
"This is truly a blessing," said Mazzulla when the Celtics put out a press release to announce the news. "I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children. We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad's mentorship, and the support of our staff.
