The coaching series is BACK and this week we're delighted to welcome in, Boston Celtics Head Coach, Joe Mazzulla. Joe was gracious enough to give us an hour of his time to cover all sorts of things. So without further ado, let's get into it.
Topics include: JJ's thoughts on the tier 1 teams in The NBA including The Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and more, then Joe joins us to talk through his sudden rise to becoming head coach of The Celtics, his recruitment of JJ to join his coaching staff, what he did to lead his team through the firing of Ime Udoka last season, how an introvert handles being a head coach, his D2 coaching journey and how he broke into the NBA, learning from his mistakes and building relationships with players, what he learned about last NBA season, his strategy of not calling timeouts at pivotal moments last season, teaching Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, integrating Kristaps Porzingis into the offense, reacting to The Milwaukee Bucks having both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, his mindset heading into this upcoming NBA season and what he learned from his father and how he applies it to coaching.
Subscribe to The Old Man and The Three podcast w/ JJ Redick (ESPN / First Take) and Tommy Alter KZfaq channel today for more NBA analysis, player interviews and highlights.

Great interview. Joe should really let his personality shine through in the post game’s this year. Understandably, he seemed really combative last year and this made him more likeable. You should interview Spo if you can.

I think he’s gonna do great this year having a whole off season to reflect on last year. People forget about how this guy had no idea he was going to be the HC until a week out of training camp.
