Coach Mazzulla’s Sunny Mood Swings

Derrick White, a Boston Celtics guard, shared another quirky story about their coach, Joe Mazzulla, on FanDuel TV. White said that Mazzulla is always learning new ways to think, but one thing he hates most is sunny weather. White explained that when they were in Los Angeles, the sky was clear and people were upset about something. Mazzulla walked around soaked in the rain, smiling because everyone else was miserable. The image of a coach enjoying bad weather while others grumble is funny to the players. Mazzulla’s mood swings are part of his personality. He often jokes that he hates when things go well. When White talks about these stories, Mazzulla feels the media is spreading rumors he didn’t create. He thinks people blame him for stories that come from players’ own podcasts or interviews.

The coach and White have a playful relationship. They once attended a WWE event where Mazzulla play‑fought with White on camera. White said that Mazzulla planned the playful attack and joked about having a real fight next time. This light‑heartedness is common among the team. Players respect Mazzulla for his basketball mind. White says he loves playing under a coach who thinks differently and can see the game in unique ways. The team laughs at Mazzulla’s odd reactions because they understand his language and appreciate his genuine nature.
