Two years ago, Joe Mazzulla was a relative coaching unknown. Now, he's the head coach of the NBA champion Boston Celtics following a 5-game triumph over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. How did this happen? What was the path? What makes the man? One of his closest friends, Florida Atlantic head basketball coach John Jakus, dishes on Mazzulla in a wide-ranging interview with FAU Owls' radio voice Ken LaVicka. Jakus details how they met, how they kept in contact through Mazzulla's career as a member of the West Virginia Mountaineers basketball team, the influence Bob Huggins had on Mazzulla, how the two became tight as Jakus coached Mazzulla in Europe and what Mazzulla and his family mean to Jakus. Also, an insight into how their Christian faith plays a special part in the bond between the two men.
