In fairness, some CotY winners have subsequently looked pretty bad.

It's all fine and dandy to circle jerk in December.
Let's wait and see what happens when his head is spinning and no adjustments are made in the playoffs and the good teams are coaching circles around him.
Will y'all be there to brag about December then

Even Pop is looking rough right now, it takes both good players and good coaching to succeed. Joe isn't perfect but he's not bad and he's getting better with time.

All the people whining about Joe still don’t understand that the staff being so strong overall matters a lot more than just Joe. I have some questions about him, but the staff is so good that it doesn’t matter.
I beg people to realize this.

Mazzulla said the team has been fortunate to be able to build on the defensive principles installed under the previous two head coaches.
“I think the team played and had a system when Brad [Stevens] was here and it was a rules based system where there was an answer for everything,” Mazzulla said. “You guard everything the exact same way. Very fortunate to see that system. And then when Will [Hardy] and Ime [Udoka] were here it was a little more switching.”
“But, we got really good at switching because we had the defensive principles that the team had when they were under Brad,” Mazzulla added. “We were able to kind of do some different things that if you don’t have principles and technique you’re not able to pull off. I think because of that foundation we were able to recreate with our switching. Fortunate to have both of those systems to do some stuff differently and I still think we can grow and get better.”

Evidently in the same interview or press availability:
“So many people look at the game and they’re like ‘this is what happpened’ in transition, or like when you give up something at the rim, there’s like three reasons why it got to that point.
“It could be the wrong matchup, it could be the wrong body position,” Mazzulla continued. “It could be anything. It’s like you’ve got to take it two or three steps back for each. The game is just connected there. Your defense starts with your offense because if you take great shots, and your well spaced, and you crash, and you get guys stuck out of the corner, it’s 5-on-5 … and you can get matched.”
