Well this is a very bad thing for Ime and his fiancée/wife (?), whichever she is at this point.
And yes, I get that it is not a good thing within an organization, you would need to address this .........

but a year-long suspension ?

I work in higher education admin at a college - I cannot see an employee facing serious consequences for something like this or any consequences at all. How is this sort of thing looked at in corporate America, say a big pharma company ?

(of course, us hillbillies here in Tennessee just have relations with anyone we feel like, so we wouldn't know no better)

Which is why I never plan on going to Tennessee… :laugh:
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The Boston Celtics announced today that the team has suspended Head Coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season for violations of team policies. A decision about his future with the Celtics beyond this season will be made at a later date. The suspension takes effect immediately.

Per Adam Kaufman:

Very noteworthy the #Celtics left the door open on Ime Udoka's status beyond this season. They aren't ready to fire him and he isn't prepared to "mutually part ways," so a resolution will come later. Still seems very unrealistic Udoka will ever coach Boston again.

Yeah, from that statement it very well looks like the end of the Udoka era in Boston. That is why you have to take advantage of the opportunity for a title when it's right in front of you.

As a southerner, I am feeling hurt, shamed, oppressed, misunderstood and violated by such an ignorant statement.
Don't sensitive souls like you try to avoid generalizing characteristics about groups of people other than themselves ??
You should be suspended from this board and fined 100 Tommy Points for such a remark.

Well on the bright side all expectations are now gone. Go find a guy just as good to replace him next season.

It’s gonna be wild when this story comes out in detail. This guy must have done something awful to get that kind on punishment.

Sounds like they want to fire him but their legal team needs more time to figure out how to avoid being sued.

I’m sorry but the Celtics owe everyone an explanation. Rules violations doesn’t hold up for a year long suspension and possibly Ime being let go for good.

Something major happened for this punishment

So Tatum and Brown had to go through Kyrie going bizarro on the team, Hayward turning into a shadow of his former self before their eyes, Horford replaced by a gimpy Kemba, and then just when things start getting normal Ime says hold my beer...
