Mazzulla has told the story before, it was basically 15 minutes of West calling him a motherfucker.

This is part of when he assaulted a woman in a bar, right?

not becoming a professional sports puppet is hardly wasting his live.

Sincerity isn’t something you can fake. There are people with his personality that are insincere and the players over the course of a season will sniff that out fast.

Mazulla is an absolute psycho but the dudes in the locker room know that if they call him at any time of the day he’ll pick up and do whatever they need for them and they’ll walk into fire if he asks them to because of that.

When Ime got fired I thought Joe wouldn’t last, but I was wrong and God damnit I’m thrilled about it.

Your last line is what did it for me. I’ve loved him since he became the Celtics coach and I became aware of him – I wanted him to succeed when a lot of Celtics fans were trashing him and blaming him for every single loss the first year after Udoka was fired.

He just doesn’t give a fuck what the societal expectations for him are, but not in a mean douchebag way. He’s self-deprecating, self-aware, and seems like a good dude.

Probably means 25 more years of Brad as well.

I’m

Lmao R.C clears them both, R.C is the one that put Presti on

*Just to add R.C has more than double the championships of both Brad and Presti combined. (5)(2)

Yeah I think the point is that this an example of a guy who has recognized his faults and has committed himself to being a better person.

In April 2009, Mazzulla was arrested for domestic battery at a bar in Morgantown, West Virginia, and was suspended by coach Bob Huggins.[10] Around this time, Mazzulla received a phone call from Mountaineer legend Jerry West. West criticized Mazzulla for failing to live up to expectations and pleaded with him not to waste his talents any longer. Mazzulla credits this call for helping to set him on the right path.

It’s easy to find on Wikipedia.

Yes, but ppl can be better

It is so rare for someone to realize that it’s the entitlement - not the anger, not the emotions themselves - that leads to DV. Even so-called rehabilitation programs tend to focus on anger management without getting to the fact of, okay, but you get angry at other people and don’t hit them, so why do you think it’s okay to hit your partner? Why do you feel entitled to them in that way?

Idk I’m not a big fan of his but I thought that was worth noting.

So? Why is that relevant?

Even better does he have a history of DV?

Its always the most outspoken guys. 

That’s a good way to spend a coin

“Huggy bear” got his nickname for making his players fight actual bears

No no no. He is always armed.

For this particular bout, his own stipulation was that he be unarmed to make it fair.

MAZZULLA: And the leopards was not starved and weakened. I ensured they were well fed and at full strength, the way I like my opposing team to be.

Every leopard gets a coin

He dropped out of high school when he was 16. He went back for Senior year but I doubt he took it seriously

ong?

Hey, he gave her a coin so it was totally legal

nah that was Truck Bryant who was out and Mazulla was filling in

You can’t put pandora back in the box

Literally everybody. While also managing the growing talent/ego/workload of their No. 2/1B + the late szn comeback of their No. 1/1A. Not to mention the deep album cut players that come outta nowhere to be heavy impact players.

Didn’t they already announce the winner? 

It’s also extremely easy to get into the Basketball HoF compared to any other sport. Multiple finals runs and potentially multiple titles would basically guarantee it so long as he doesn’t retire in 2 years.

And an extensive playing career. 

I was less tuned in to all the stuff and just watched games back then but even as a Celtics fan, Doc’s a hof coach? Always felt like Thibs was the difference maker coach side. Unless it’s the ego management thing which idk besides Ray, those Celtics are all just kind of friends

Any particular reason(s) as to why?

What a weird way to defend abusing women but your flair checks out.

The woman was his former roommate, I believe, which is why it was considered “domestic.”

Insane how you guys talk about woman beating when it’s someone you want to like vs someone you don’t

I cook 100 meals, I’m not a chef. I fuck one horse and I’m a horse fucker for the rest of my life

Lol right??

So glad that reddit added that so I know who to never take seriously before even reading the comment.
