[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132181679, member: 1467482"] Hes 34, they could have probably brought Brad Stevens down from the executive suite for a year, or brought in some retread who would guide the team through this. Not to mention there is 6 other guys with the same title as Mazzulla they could have picked. The fact that they opted to give the keys to Mazzulla speaks volumes about how they feel about him. This isn’t just some random scenario, it’s the Boston Celtics who are coming off of a Finals appearance and have high expectations again. It was well thought out in a way for what would be best to give a team a shot at an NBA title, and they landed on Mazzula. If it doesn’t pan out he is still going to be talked about in high regard in league circles as an assistant and eventual HC when he gains more experience. On the flip side, WVU is not going to give $3m to a coach who has zero experience recruiting at a major college level. I am also not convinced there is a scenario in play this year for Huggins to be forced out. I would think if it got really bad they would let him try to go out on a high note next year, but I’m not convinced anyone really has the authority to fire Huggins right now. [/QUOTE]
