On a recent appearance on WEEI’s “Zolak and Bertrand” show (courtesy of NBC Sports Boston), Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked about an unusual habit he has, and whether he still does it. “I still do, highly recommended,” came the response from Mazzulla. The West Virginia alum revealed he sleeps with tape on his mouth each night to maximize his sleeping time, it seems.
“I actually have a mouthpiece, I upgraded to a sleep mouthpiece, and that helps with it,” he explained. “When I got into the NBA, I learned how long a season it is physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I think coaches and players have to find ways to take care of themselves.”
