Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca on how Joe Mazzulla is doing as head coach
When it comes to assessing how well a new head coach is doing, the fans of a given NBA team can be among the toughest critics out there, especially for a ball club as storied as the Boston Celtics are. And when you are also carrying the interim status after stepping up in the wake of another head coach’s failure, the stakes are even higher.
Mix in some contention expectations, and it would be hard to conceive of a more potentially fraught tightrope for a first-time head coach like Boston’s Joe Mazzulla, but that is the reality of the Rhode Island native at the helm of the Celtics this season.
At the end of the day, the opinion that matters above all regarding continued employment is that of the people signing and cutting the paychecks, so to hear what Boston co-owner Steve Pagliuca thinks of Mazzulla’s job so far should give us an idea of what the ownership group thinks of his work so far.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Pagliuca had to say about this topic in a recent interview with the folks at Boston’s Sports Center 5 WCVB.
