Joe Mazzulla talks about potentially winning NBA Coach of the Year: “I think it’s a stupid award, they shouldn’t have it… I don’t really ever want it to be asked or talked about again.”

  2. If the Celtics beat writers had any stones, they’d all rock Mazzulla for COY sweatshirts for the rest of the year.

  4. Mazzulla knows it’s a cursed award and the real achievement is to be considered one of the best coaches in the league without ever winning COTY

  10. Is it wrong that I want him to win it now even more? Lol.

    No way they are giving it to him but it would be too funny .

  12. The real treat is getting all the people saying “ah fuck Joey Mozzarella should have won it”

  14. This guy’s press conferences are like Bill Belichick’s

    ……If Belichick had a personality. 😄

  15. Genuinely love this answer from a head coach. Giving credit where credit is due across the players and staff

  16. Dude thsi is so true. If it were cosching staff of the year it jsut doesnt have the same buzz to it. But Jthe Celtics Coaching staff are easily the best this year. RON harper Jr is now a rotation player….. he was in the G league…THIS YEAR.

  18. Only the coach of the year would say he doesn’t want the coach of the year

  19. He’s right of course. All the awards are ridiculous and meaningless popularity contests

  21. When he first became our coach, I was so skeptical. Now I love this psychopath. The terror his apathy will wreak upon the league will be wonderful for decades to come. Belichick-level.

  22. If they ever tried to write that dumb shit on our court that they wrote on the heat court, I feel like Mazzulla would set it on fire

  26. I’ve always seen CotY as an acknowledgment of the entire coaching staff, even though it omits all but one name.

  28. Already has a chip. COY is beneath him😂. I doubt any coach here will ever get it. Brad should have gotten one. He should have at least gotten it his second year in the league getting Boston into the playoffs.

  33. Love Joe for this, he knows he inherited a great roster from Ime and that’s all he heard for 3 years. Now that he coached up a contender from a bunch of bench players everybody is ready to give him credit and he’s like, nah.

  34. Joe is the epitome of a Celtics head coach. The man only cares about championships everything in between is filler.
