Coach of the Year Award: All-Time Winners
The Boston Celtics exceeded expectations all season, and Joe Mazzulla was named the 2026 NBA Coach of the Year in recognition of their success.
Mazzulla led the Celtics to a 56-26 record — his fourth straight 50-win campaign with Boston — despite star Jayson Tatum being unavailable for much of the year.
The Celtics won 64 games and the NBA championship behind Mazzulla in 2024, and his career coaching record now stands at 238-90 (.726 winning percentage) in the regular season. The Celtics are also 36-21 under Mazzulla in the playoffs.
Mazzulla is the fourth Celtics coach to be Coach of the Year, and he’s the first Celtics coach to capture the award since Bill Fitch in 1979-80. At 37 years old, he’s the youngest NBA Coach of the Year Award-winner since Phil Johnson in 1974-75.
