Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla appeared to pay tribute to former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick ahead of Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Mazzulla attended his pregame press conference wearing a hoodie with the sleeves cut off at the elbows, a nod to the commonly-worn outfit by Belichick throughout his time on the Patriots’ sideline.
Belichick, of course, parted ways with New England on Thursday after 24 seasons as coach of the franchise. The 71-year-old could often be seen wearing a gray Patriots sweatshirt with cutoff sleeves, and Mazzulla appeared to be honoring him with his outfit choice on Thursday afternoon.
