It is no secret that Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is no fan of the idea that he deserves credit for how far above expectations the Celtics played last season. So when, as expected, Mazzulla was honored with the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year award, the West Virginia alum predictable pointed to his staff for all their support in making what he was being honored for possible.

"I think a lot of times, the long nights, the trips, game plans,, the video guys that are clipping up the film and coding it, and the assistants who are putting in the game plan," he said, "I think there's so much that goes into winning one game."

"And it starts with the players but it goes to our staff, and so I feel bad that they're not here," continued Mazzulla. "But forever indebted to the guys that we have that give up their time with their families and their time to give us a chance to win every day."

"Thank you to the Lord for the platform he has given me, and to my wife and family who support me on this journey," said the Celtics coach. "Thank you to our players who compete and give it everything they have each night."

"I am grateful for every member of the Celtics organization whose dedication impacts winning every day. This award belongs to our staff, who are there for the guys every day. Their relentless work ethic improves our team daily."
