Did the Boston Celtics make a mistake by not waiting to promote Joe Mazzulla to head coach?
Not surprisingly, there have been growing pains for the first-year head coach given the lofty ambitions and his relative inexperience. Should the Celtics have waited until next season to make Mazzulla the permanent head coach?
Or did the circumstances require them to give him a multi-year deal given the organization was effectively over a barrel after the Ime Udoka scandal broke at one of the worst possible moments for the organization?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman with Gary Tanguay” podcast debated this topic on an episode.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to see where the trio comes down on the Mazzulla hire in light of what we have seen from the team in its most high-leverage moments.
