And for all those saying if it's consensual it should be ok, (I don't mean in terms of underage, but in regards of relationships with co-workers), companies have policies in place to prevent conflict of interest, favoritism, brand image etc.
But I would assume that punishments for these violations would be handled internally. So this must be really huge.
What does 'handled internally' mean for a public figure like head coach of an NBA team?
People will notice if Udoka's not at training camp. Or behind the bench on opening night.
There's only so many times you can use the excuse that he ate some bad shellfish and has the runs before people will catch on that maybe something else is going on...
If you want to handle it quietly internally the following options exist:
1) Loss of bonuses/Restructuring bonuses
2) Loss of perks/ Reduction of perks
3) Quiet dismissal of family members (if any) with bs positions on company payroll
4) Permanent/Temporary limiting input on all hiring/firing including on coaches.
All of things are private punishments the two parties could have come to terms on, saving this public fuss, if the risk of blow back on the Celtics wasnt too big. It seems that the Celtics don't believe the blow back is worth it, so instead are going the "send a message" route.
