Joe Mazzulla went long on awards & recognition today.
Asked him about whether he thinks the Coach of the Year award should instead be Organization of the Year:
βIf it were Staff of the Year, it's different, if it were Organization of the Year β but at the end of the day, I haven't made one basket all year. Our staff hasn't made a basket. We haven't gotten a block. We haven't ran back on defense. We didn't play in a back-to-back. We didn't have to play hurt. We haven't really done shit. So, if you don't have the guys to be able to put you in position, it doesn't really matter. Iβm just grateful β the greatest gift I have is I get to coach a bunch of guys that care about winning and being a part of the culture that we have.β
