Joe Mazzulla JOINS! Influence, locker room speeches and MORE! | The Lowe Post

[@SirGenesis206]

This dude is built different. Generational find for the Celtics.

[@eliyarrows2456]

It reminds me of the Tatum draft pick oddly. Like in that draft, Fultz was the obvious pick for #1 and Tatum was in the mix with a few other prospects for the second spot (woulda been 2nd but the Lakers let Lavar control who they drafted 😂) and the Celtics with the #1 pick decided to trade back and take Tatum, some were very confused by this considering how good Fultz had looked. Now Ime was the sure thing. He changed the dynamic of this team entirely, but then something happened where they felt they had to move on. Boston had multiple great assistants (some had already left for other head coaching jobs) and yet they chose some dude who was in the second row last season? Both of these choices confused many, then made many realize why the franchise was so confident in these choices.

And then doing this long interview right after the celebration. This guy doesn't rest.

[@stealthgenetix1754]

Saw a clip of him hooping with first team. He got game. Really disciplined and firm position. He’s a solid coach

[@Kdizzol1]

@@plzwatchthis1057stolen story! Funny how you allowed the European(s) to denationalize you. By the way “Native American” and “African American” are fairly new terms they chose to label you with. Stay enlightened bruddah this is the beginning of golden age let the darkness come to light

[@TheRobversion1]

Joe is such a smart, innovative and REAL coach. Hes arguably the most interesting and human of all the coaches. superheroes, military, christianity, MMA, competitiveness, crazy practices, data analytics, counterintuitive ideas, football, pop culture references, the town, etc

[@insearchofYAH]

Creating and communicating character through different mediums and experiences. Holistic approach to teaching and guiding. Aspiring coaches should look to him as an inspiration.

[@zalemdreams]

Love Joe as a coach. Decisive, analytically-driven, and open-minded. It shines through in his coaching but also in this (very interesting) conversation. Possibly my favorite coach with/after Spo.

[@lucasbergeron672]

Trusts his guys too

[@CrackerBarrelkid555]

If any of you are aspiring to be a coach this is golden info

[@jeffreymndove]

I'm not going to lie, as a Celtics fan, last season I was so frustrated by Joe's coaching (especially the lack of timeouts) in the beginning but had to give him the benefit of the doubt due to him being thrown into the deep after the Ime situation. This season I can't point out anything he did wrong and you can see how good of a coach he is after putting together his own staff & having a proper training camp with the players.. I'm impressed of how he made all the players buy in & finally win a championship.

[@geordiejones5618]

I'm still amazed with what he was able to do at the last minute essentially. He learned a lot and it paid off huge. I was just as unsure as other Celtics fans but what really turned me around was that interview he did with JJ Redick right before the Jrue trade. He just felt so raw and relatable, and hearing his story of how he came up as a coach was pretty awesome to hear. He just kept his head down and did his job but held himself to a high standard, and he was rewarded with the opportunity of a lifetime.

[@jgates9786]

Props to you for being willing to admit that. Most people try to act they never had any problems with Joe all of a sudden

[@subri120499]

Agreed. I wanted him gone after last season… the start of this year - I figured ok we’ll see how it goes. Wasn’t a fan of the 3-point barrage mindset. But I was wrong. He’s good. A good maybe great coach.

[@glenn8886]

The first 15-20 mins are just something that I will never imagine I can hear: deep, thoughtful and just purely amazing stuffs

[@dekunutsocarina]

Coach Mazulla is the real deal.

[@nathanhunt6579]

Joe Mazulla might be the NBA's most interesting man

[@TheRobversion1]

Agreed. Hes the most "modern" coach. Pop culture references, unorthodox practices, analytics driven gameplans, proudly wears being a christian AND MMA guy on his sleeve. Plus reveals that he coached half the season with a torn meniscus.

[@Justinsox39]

Definitely one of a kind. The guy lives for awkwardness. Gotta love it

[@mrenga]

The best teachers are lifelong students. Love how Joe is expansive in his approach to learning what matters to the process and to winning.

[@drminas695]

Joe is a great coach and even better human being Boston is lucky to have him.

[@LegerAndCo]

Everyone in the league said the Celtics don't have the "'dog" in them. Mazzulla is the dog. this year proved that and his growth and the teams compared to last year can't go unrecognized.

[@colewhite7482]

I am a massive wvu and a massive Boston fan. I don’t even have words for how amazing it is to see Joe lead these Celtics. I always took pride in him being on the staff, and was well familiar w his young yet successful coaching career. I’m just so happy he’s the guy leading our Celtics. Mountaineer and Celtic nation loves you Joe!

[@ThadCastIe]

I was gonna defend this guy to the end because of my WVU bias so seeing him as successful as he’s been makes this championship twice as awesome 🍀

[@colewhite7482]

@@ThadCastIe 100%. He got some unfair criticism last year but by the way he’s handled himself this year you would’ve never known that. We are definitely very lucky to have coach Mazzulla

[@vh448]

Besides being a brilliant young basketball coach, he's real not fake or doesn't worry about offending someone with his honesty. If people are not honest with each other, that's where misunderstandings can occur. One lie leads to another until it's out of control. Joe seems like a good guy and it's good to see good people achieve success.

[@jasonapplebaum9871]

This is amazing, I don’t remember ever seeing a coach doing a long form interview just days after winning a championship. This is gold

[@reillydavis1100]

I think Zach has them on his pod after every season

[@DrPhill96]

[@elisecheng1318]

Amazing interview and Zach asks the best questions, everything I want to know and some but he stays away from the BS which I’m sure coaches appreciate!

[@kennethko1534]

The concept is really cool and Joe's actually a really interesting guest. Zach's done this for several years now, but I think Joe is by far the most interesting

Joe is a very interesting guy, I'm glad Brad Stevens had the foresight to promote him to head coach and then the patience after losing to Miami to give him more time, and it paid off big time.

[@sydneydance]

I love how Zack got Joe on the pod right after the win! Congratulations Coach!

[@njmksr8686]

Yeah listening to this guy talk... It's wraps for the league. Best bet for the rest of the NBA is to mess with his Netflix recommendations. Everyone else is cooked.

[@schuylersavage276]

He gets it. He gets life. It’s so amazing to see. He might be the most wholistic coaches ever and it might lead him to seriously contend for best coach ever by the he end of his tenure

Out of all the content I’ve seen from the championship that was what made me tear up. So happy for Joe congrats coach Jeff as well wish you would have stayed. I hope you get the ring you deserve.

[@daphatkid11212]

Great interview with Coach Mazulla. But having Coach Van Gundy on the pod made my day, we've missed you this year on the air and on the Pod.

[@uzi978]

I had my doubts about Joe, especially after the way last season ended... but he did it, and I can't help but be a believer now. This was a great interview, really got into the details of how he thinks, and why he coaches the way he does. Provided they stay healthy, he can lead the Celtics for many years to come and has the potential to win a few more Championships along the way.

A very impressive young man. I imagine that conversations JJ Redick has had with Joe have been inspiring to him as an aspiring coach. Great conversation but I expect them from Zach who is one of the VERY few non-players I respect when it comes to commentary on the NBA. Everything of his on ESPN is behind the pay wall, so these KZbin videos are much appreciated. Thanks.

[@twavbeats]

Look at Joe. So inspirational.

[@FizzSix]

All the soft-core fans and mainstream media need to reevaluate their perception of Mazzulla. although an unpopular opinion, is objectively a better coach than ime - who was good but very one-dimensional, whereas Mazzulla has these not only training like military, but has them thinking outside the box and challenging themselves professionally and personally.

[@insearchofYAH]

That’s what life is about in general. Basketball and life are parallel. They didn’t cut corners and accepted the challenges. Kudos to them. I would have loved playing for a coach that thorough.

[@brettlewis2900]

He already is better. Did more in 2 seasons alone at a younger age than ime could ever do.. Joe has both def and offense covered and has a much better mindset for his staff and players. Ime just had talent buy in. Joe has found a way to make his talent thrive and it was built up from day 1. We all criticized him for lack of time outs in the regular season and he said he wanted his guys to figure things out in stressful situations. Media would say he had no clue what he was doing and was throwing games away (well those reg season games were good teaching points). I could bring up more instances of things he's done in the reg season that preped them for this playoff run but this post would be really long (and it already is lol)
