Celtics name Mazzulla as the franchise's 19th head coach agreeing to a long-term deal.
He's our coach. No more "interim".

I cannot argue with that. I would have been perfectly fine with doing this at season's end.

Now that Mazz is officially our head coach, he can start calling timeouts when opposition goes on a 20-0 run!

It works in the regular season to be a defensive team, but in the playoffs everyone tries hard on d. Then it's about who can make tough shots. |

The most logical explanation is they settled with Ime. They could let him serve his term in suspension. Still paying anyway.

I'm just going to say I'm not comfortable handing the keys to a winning team to a rookie driver.
He's done well because the team is self-directed. Not all the players are super smart bb guys but enough are that the braintrust is strong.
But I'd still feel more comfortable with some experience. Even a strong, seasoned assistant would make me feel better.
Just like not getting the play or calling a TO when it didn't come off in Milwaukee.
Speaking of Milwaukee, that court looked like some small college done with freaking vinyl cutouts.

ESPN ticker under the talking heads regarding Mazz's appointment as HC said Udoka was out as HC
Zolak & Bertrand just reported that Udoka was no longer employed by the C's in any fashion so it would appear that a termination agreement has been settled upon clearing the way for Mazzula.

Celtics promote Joe Mazzulla to head coach, officially replacing Ime Udoka after suspension
By Brian Robb | brobb@masslive.com
The Celtics removed the interim head coach label on Joe Mazzulla on Thursday morning and announced him as the 19th head coach in franchise history. Mazzulla also reached a contract extension as part of his new title. The decision means the Celtics have officially parted ways with Ime Udoka.

Well warranted. I would have totally waited till the end of the season. Don't see the need to have rushed it.

No hurry.... wait until the end of the season.
Why rush into anything.
Who knows... the wheels could fall off tomorrow....
...and the team could go right down the krapper.
Unless Mass was attracting coaching interests from other organizations.
Still.... even in that case.... what's the hurry?
Easy does it....

friggin' ABOUT TIME!!!!
I was talking yesterday about how cheap these owners are that they won't buy out Udoka and make Crazy joe Mazzulla the head coach.
and now the news today.
I suspect it's NOT because Wyc and company decided to not be cheap ass's instead I think the VERY BAD optics of your head coach, coaching the All-Star game while bein only an "interim" status was too much even for them!!
But whatever pushed their cheap ass's to get it done, I am glad they spent the money and did the right thing (for once)

They couldn't have gotten this done so quickly ... even once they knew for sure that Mazz was sure to be the All-Star Coach.
More likely, they resolved the buy-out with Udoka and held off on the announcement till now since they just agreed to terms with Mazz in the last few days.
