Joe Mazzulla's tenure as head coach of the Boston Celtics has been a mix of triumph and scrutiny. After leading the team to a championship in 2024, Mazzulla's aggressive, perimeter-focused style of play has garnered both praise and criticism. However, the recent second-round playoff exit against the New York Knicks in 2025 raised questions about his job security.

Discussion on the ‘Celtics Beat’ podcast highlighted the performance of Mazzulla's roster and his role in their development. Analysts are debating if Mazzulla is overrated or well-suited for the position as he aims to secure his place heading into next season.
