Joe Mazzulla received his fourth Eastern Conference Coach of the Month award after guiding the Celtics to a 14-1 record in March. However, he dismisses individual accomplishments, stating, "It's the dumbest thing ever." Teammates have noted his aversion to personal recognition, focusing instead on team success. The Celtics excelled in March, achieving double-digit victories and a franchise record for a road trip. Their defensive improvements were significant, setting a solid foundation for the upcoming playoffs as they ranked second in points allowed per game in the East.
It's the dumbest thing ever.
When he won Coach of the Month, I said 'Hey, congratulations.' And he just looked at me and said 'nobody cares.'
