Celtics Head Coach Wants To improve Basketball By Making It Hockey

I kind of like kick around hypothetical ways to improve various a sport and, apparently, so does Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzula.

However, I think he's getting his idea from the same place. The head coach of the reigning NBA champs joined Boston's Zolak & Bertrand radio show and he was asked if he had any rules he'd like to add or change to the league.

Mazzulla was pretty pumped about the subject and had a pair of suggestions ready to go: add power plays and bring back fighting. "Hey, I mean, basketball is one of the only sports that doesn't have a power play," he said. "I think soccer just put in the 'blue card' where a guy has to go off and it's a 10 on 9.

Like we should have a power play. Because let's say you have a technical or let's say you get a take foul, and you get the one shot, but you're not really rewarded for that because if you miss it, you don't get the reward for that take foul.
