CANTON, Mass. — If Joe Mazzulla is nervous as he’s thrown into a difficult situation, he didn’t show it.
In his first press conference since being named the Celtics’ interim head coach in the wake of Ime Udoka’s season-long suspension, the 34-year-old Mazzulla looked and sounded ready on Monday. The moment didn’t look too big for him. It seemed like he has a plan in place. And with emotions still raw after the events of the last week, he even landed a joke.
Asked why Brad Stevens was so adamant last Friday that he’s the right man for the job, Mazzulla didn’t hesitate.
