During his appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla proposed introducing elements from hockey into basketball, specifically advocating for power plays to enhance the game's entertainment value. He noted that basketball lacks a power play system, suggesting that technical fouls and take fouls could lead to a temporary five-on-four advantage, which he believes would add excitement and strategy to the sport.
Expanding on the idea of increased conflict in basketball, Mazzulla expressed a desire to bring back fighting, stating that the absence of on-court confrontations robs the league of entertainment. He argued passionately that having the option for players to engage in physical confrontations, similar to what occurs in baseball and hockey, could significantly add to the viewing experience.
