The Athletic is reporting that Ime made "unwanted comments" and the woman complained. Report doesn't tell us much, as "unwanted comments" theoretically could range from mildly annoying to wildly offensive.

Well there you have it. And why it's incredibly stupid to **** around in the work place. This is going to get much worse for Ime before it gets better.

EDIT: slow pony (reminder to go to the next page lol)

That thing about the comment and is vague and doesn't really change anything. Plus it's just a report. Sounds like they're just trying to make it sound worse

Supposedly the front office has known about the relationship since July.

Now I know what you're thinking "But I'm a successful basketball coach, I can't sexually harass anyone! Sorry coach. You're time's up."

If the report is true that Ime apologized to everyone and accepted his suspension, I’m assuming there’s more we haven’t heard.

Udoka's coached his last game as part of the Boston organization. The most likely reason he wasn't terminated is that his contract remains an asset, and Boston's not going to fire him only to wake up in January with him on the Brooklyn sideline.

Link above on what he originally said.

Of note, during today's presser Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe asked Stevens & Grousbeck about the vetting process that occurred when they hired Udoka. Shaughnessy has been muckracking in Boston for nearly 40 years. He doesn't ask random questions. It's possible that the Globe is on to something.

I'm starting to wonder if he didn't have an affair with a 20 year old he's known for years or something and he may have groomed the girl for years. Otherwise, how can a consensual relationship between two adults be this problematic?

it could have started consensually, but changed later
especially if they're both cheating and someone found out, maybe a pregnancy involved, who tf knows

from what they've leaked so far it sounds like she broke it off and he was cursing her out at the office, at least


smells like something is being covered up
could be as simple as everyone knew since like early 2022 but the celtics didn't want to fire him then and disrupt their season, or there's something more sinister/criminal going on

good point. idk what's up but

Otherwise, "how can a consensual relationship between two adults be this problematic?"

idk either man but these guys are all up in arms. they have had sex, I assume. wtf.

Ehh Shaughnessy is an idiot, not sure he knows anything

if you're defending Udoka harder than Udoka is defending himself you should ask yourself where you're getting that confidence you know more about the situation than he does. Given you know, he was there at the time.

Holy ****ing ****. Please Knicks miss the playoffs and bink bink bink!

I think I even take Victor over 19 year old LeBron. You can’t teach 7’5”.

Yeah, Lowe and Shelburne basically confirmed this on the Lowe Post today. Made it clear they know way more about what's going on but can't put their journalistic integrity (or their sources) on the line for it. Lowe is super plugged into Boston (started out on the beat for them or the equivalent, no?) and Shelburne is a hack but plugged in everywhere as well.

Word around the campfire (completely unverified speculation ofc) is Ime slept with the owner's wife.

I think everyone assumed a first was going to be attached to this. What the hell is this deal? This is the weirdest deal ever. Clearly Danny hates the ****ing Lakers if he wouldn't trade Bogs for one LAL first. There has to be more to this story. Why wouldn't UTA just pay Bogs to go home until they found a better deal closer to the deadline?

The highest probability local Boston media source to come up with the details is the Globe. Chicken & Beer, the Flop House. Locating a potential sexual harassment incident inside any Boston institution is up their progressive angle; they're not going to buy Boston's single employee no deeper internal culture issues story without digging into it.

Celts PR boned this pretty hard, imo.

You can’t announce a one year suspension and then give no details and not expect people to dig it up. Even if their hand was forced because of a leak before they were ready, they look super shady now.

Maybe hoping interest drops or something else dominates headlines before the truth comes out.

With the way people who seem to know what happened are talking, it seems too complicated+early to determine whether or not the "Celts PR boned this pretty hard"

Yeah so no wonder we lost the Finals. I was true to Green Tara. M fer Ime pervin his ass off. His dego ways. She was beautiful! She was young, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world. And then Ime Udoka comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous. And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous. Now you get the hell out of here! And if that goomba tries any rough stuff, you tell him I ain't no bandleader.

Naw man just kidding but the fact is I worked my magic 100%, no porn, Green Tara, the C's are Green....but the man closest to the action is bangin every broad in town when he is supposed to be this father figure. it all makes sense now the finals loss.

Who would’ve thought a defensive coach could be so offensive!?

I too wonder if he’s getting paid to do nothing for this season.

Give yourself some TZ points. Top shelf stuff

thx thx
