Boston Celtics sign coach Joe Mazzulla to multi-year contract extension
We've got a few more years of nature documentary metaphors ahead of us now. Joe Mazzulla signed a multi-year extension to remain head coach of the Boston Celtics, the team has announced. This is truly a blessing," Mazzulla said in a statement announcing the signing. "I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children. We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad's mentorship, and the support of our staff. Most importantly, I am grateful for the players I have been able to coach the past three seasons. I look forward to competing for the Celtics and the city of Boston."This extension is not a surprise. Mazzulla was thrust into a tough spot when he took the job, replacing the suspended Ime Udoka first as the interim head coach, just days before training camp opened in 2022. Despite that, he has thrived in the role. Mazzulla led the Boston Celtics to an NBA title in 2024 and has had them at the highest levels of the sport since he took over. That earns a coach some extra years. "We are very excited that Joe has agreed to extend with the Celtics," Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens said in a statement. "He understands the job and has a passion for the Celtics that is only rivaled by our most die-hard fans. He's worked hard and accomplished amazing things in his first three years as a head coach — including averaging over 60 wins per season and winning the 2024 NBA Championship. Joe is a gifted leader who brings a consistent commitment to learning, improving, and maximizing each day we get to compete for the Boston Celtics." The extension ends the speculation in Boston about his contract heading into a season where Mazzulla is likely to hear more criticism from fans and media than in the past. This is going to be a gap year for the Celtics, who will not be a bad team, led by Jaylen Brown, but will not be title contenders without Jayson Tatum (torn Achilles expected to keep him out most, if not all, of next season) as well as trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. This is no longer a deep team, it looks more like a play-in team, even in a down Eastern Conference. The Celtics have a "no ceiling" mindset heading into this season, with the focus clearly on saving money now and then reloading for another title run in the 2026-27 season with a healthy Tatum. We now know that Mazzulla will be coaching that team as they try to get back to the mountain top.

Boston Celtics sign coach Joe Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens has said throughout the offseason that that team wanted Joe Mazzulla to be its coach for a long time. It made that more than a proclamation Friday, announcing it has signed Mazzulla to a multi-year contract extension. Length and details of the new deal were not released. In a statement, Mazzulla called his new pact with the team 'a blessing.' 'I would not be here without my faith, my wife, and my children,' Mazzulla said. 'We are thankful for the partnership with our ownership groups, Brad's mentorship, and the support of our staff. Most importantly, I am grateful for the players I have been able to coach the past three seasons. I look forward to competing for the Celtics and the city of Boston.' Mazzulla, 37, is coming off his third season as Boston's coach and has guided the team to the playoffs each season, including the franchise's 18th NBA title to cap the 2023-24 season. He was the youngest head coach to win the NBA Finals since the 1968-69 season, when 35-year-old Bill Russell led the Celtics to the championship as a player-coach. Under Mazzulla, the Celtics have won at least 57 games each of those seasons and topped 60 victories in each of the last two. Though Stevens has never publicly discussed the details of Mazzulla's contract, the coach was initially given an extension shortly after having the interim tag lifted in February 2023. Stevens confirmed in June that Mazzulla had received at least one additional extension prior to his latest one. 'He understands the job and has a passion for the Celtics that is only rivaled by our most die-hard fans,' Stevens said in a statement. 'He's worked hard and accomplished amazing things in his first three years as a head coach — including averaging over 60 wins per season and winning the 2024 NBA Championship. Joe is a gifted leader who brings a consistent commitment to learning, improving, and maximizing each day we get to compete for the Boston Celtics.' Mazzulla originally joined the Celtics in 2019 and spent the next three seasons as an assistant before being interim head coach after former boss Ime Udoka was suspended by the team prior to the start of the 2022-23 season. ___ AP NBA:

EFL Championship Soccer: Stream Birmingham vs. Ipswich Live From Anywhere
Two teams that are widely expected to be vying for a promotion spot this term face off in Friday's opening match of the new English Football League Championship season, as Birmingham hosts Ipswich. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn't available where you are. Spearheaded by the ambitious ownership of Tom Wagner and NFL legend Tom Brady, Birmingham was promoted up from League One last season with a record points tally. Summer acquisitions such as Demarai Gray, Kyogo Furuhashi and Taylor Gardner-Hickman should help maintain that momentum as they seek back-to-back promotions. Having retained the services of much-coveted manager Kieran McKenna, the Tractor Boys are meanwhile seen as the favorites to win this season's Championship and make an immediate return to the English Premier League, despite losing key striker Liam Delap to Chelsea earlier this summer. Birmingham City take on Ipswich Town on Friday, Aug. 8, at St. Andrew's, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. BST local time. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Saturday morning. Led by manager Chris Davies, Birmingham City are back in the Championship with big ambitions. Jon Hobley/MI News/NurPhoto/Getty Images How to watch Birmingham vs. Ipswich in the US without cable American soccer fans can stream this fixture on CBS Sports Network via Paramount Plus, which has exclusive live English-language broadcast rights in the US for the EFL Championship this season. How to watch the EFL Championship from anywhere with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EFL Championship action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
