Here's a statement of Joe Mazzulla.

Quote

"It's not about carrying on from one person," Mazzulla said during the team's media day here in the Boston suburbs. "It's about carrying on the identity of our players. We had our struggles early last season, but at our best, we knew what our identity was. It was our defense, it was our buy-in from a defensive standpoint, and then it was sharing the ball and moving quickly on the offensive end.
"So as much as we can stick to the things we were great at last year, and then find areas to improve along the way, I think is the right way to go."

"Joe has been here. He knows the scheme, he knows the players, so it makes it a little bit more easier to adjust to a guy that's been here and knows you."

I doubt they will have a problem with Joe. 3 years being an assistant coach from Brad Stevens to Udoka.
Most players of the Celtics know him as they didn't change their roster that much. This could be Joe's time to shine if ever he manages to put the Celtics in a good position this season.

This is what I've been thinking as well.
Coach Udoka has been pretty impressive in his first year as a head coach of the Celtics, but Coach Mazzulla has been there for 3 years, and he already saw how Coach Udoka and even Coach Brad Stevens coached the team so I'm sure that he will do what's best for the team and what the team is excelling with and that is their defense.

Coach Mazzulla might not copy how Coach Udoka is handling the team but let's see how he will handle it. I'm pretty sure that he knows what he's doing. Celtics is one of the top defensive team last season, so we might see them focusing on it again but this time, with a different coach.

Rumors says that the Celtics are now finding a new head coach but I seriously think that it's not true. The franchise will just sit and wait until the suspension ends because Ime Udoka is already proven.

I also thought about that one, but I read an article just after releasing the suspension and it says that there is a chance that the suspension will not only for one year meaning the suspension might be either one year only or worse even longer. That's how bad what Coach Udoka did. Well, I will just hope for the best for him but if Coach Mazzulla will coach the team well this season, then I guess there is no reason for him to be replaced right?
