Mazzulla's COTY award locks in his legacy as a proven winner, not some interim guy riding talent.
He actually got massive egos to fully buy into his wild, math-heavy 3-point system. Executing that specific tactical vision is what makes him a truly elite coach.
Legitimizes him; it also shows leadership endures beyond talent, because a great coach turns potential into steady, measurable results.
Yeah, I agree. It signals steady leadership that unites the team and sets a culture future players can trust.
