I guess it's huge news for them, he is one who changes the franchise last year, so him being absent this season wherein they are one of the favorites because of how they manage to go to the finals.
Not sure though what is happening around the league, I mean I thought this is an open secret. Players bang everyone, and as far as I can remember, Magic Johnson got the AIDS virus because he was "intimate" to many females during his playing time.
It will be major changes for them unless the one who will gonna take his place is capable enough to tame the Celtic stars. I can't believe they still do such a thing to their staff considering relationships such as this one are no longer a surprise for anyone out there. I guess because he is a coach and married too. to have intimate relationships with other women seems not a good thing because when you are a coach you are simply a role model. They are just simply cutting some damage that might gonna happen if he is still the coach of the team.
I am not familiar with Joe Mazzulla, but he is named the interim coach of the Boston Celtics. He will be taking the reign while Ime Udoka is in suspension.
Just when everything looks good for the Celtics, then this news came out. They could win this year with the experience they have built up last year, they are more prepared to take the championship this year. I just hope that the interim coach is capable enough to lead Tatum and Brown.
It's a little strange to me how professional sports has gotten so anti-workplace relationships. Cheerleaders are threatened with the loss of their job if they converse with players, even outside of the workplace. Now coaches can't bang who they want (granted he was married to Nia Long so the guy is an idiot)... I think maybe it's about time to stop policing relationships between consenting adults. You know this sort of thing is happening all over the league in every sport. Seems like the NBA is speeding down a slippery slope with this one.
Yeah, that's my question too. Why the suspension? Did the woman he banged didn't agree to it to make it a rape case?
I mean, if he has a wife then it's the wife that should file a case then the law will take care of it. I understand the Sarver case because many complaints were received inside the NBA environment but I don't know about this one with Udoka.
He is not yet telling any details or statements, just an apology. So he is guilty, but there are blanks.
The report did say that it is a consensual relationship with a female staff, so it is not rape.
Coaches are held to the highest standard, though I think a year's suspension is too much, that just means that the Celtics are serious in imposing their policies and that they expected their coaches to be in their best conduct. They know that this suspension may affect their bid for the championship, but they still imposed it.
