That news comes about a month after the team's president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, voiced, "We certainly want Joe to be around here for a long time" when asked about locking up Boston's bench boss long-term.
“This is truly a blessing,” said Mazzulla in the Celtics' press release announcing 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. Most importantly, I am grateful for the players I have been able to coach the past three seasons.
