Woj/Shams: Ime Udoka Suspended for 2022-23 Season - Inappropriate Relationship, Conduct Violations

[Dirk]

It's incredible how fast things move these days.

We only heard about this hours back and they already know he's being suspended for the season.

[MarcusBrody]

“As if marriages have some secret expiration date”…

Uh, they do. Hence why more than 50% of them end in divorce — and I’m sure another large percent stays together because they’re basically forced to (kids, cost of divorce, tied finances).

Most people shouldn’t get married.

I only know a handful of people who are still married who I’ve known longer than 5 years.

You really should stop. The divorce rate has never been over 50%, peaked in 1982 (at something under 50%), and has generally been declining for the last 40 years. I can’t speak to how the pandemic years have gone (I haven’t examined the data), but generally speaking the entire foundation of your premise for marriage having an expiration date is wrong.

This response is so naive & ignorant, that’s its not even worth responding to.

How can any person currently living think that divorce rates are LOWER now in the age of social media, dating apps & no-fault divorce?

Absolutely silly.

What is silly is arguing against actual statistics with supposition. The divorce rate is as low as it's been and has been trending down for a while:

The biggest reason is that people don't get married as young and don't feel obligated to just to have sex. It lets people wait longer and find better fits. Early (first) marriages have a higher rate of dissolution than later marriages but there are less now.

And yet, not only did you respond, but you did so incorrectly. Instead of actually LOOKING AT THE DATA for marriage rates and divorce rates, you doubled down. I’ve studied the marriage and divorce rates for years and the data is as easy to find as 5 minutes in a search bar.

To answer you question: simply because people are marrying later, with more to lose and are being much more careful about getting married in the first place.

This will be my final comment on this as it’s silly to argue something so easily disproven with actual data, and not anecdotes like “I don’t hardly know anyone who has been married longer than 5 years”.

Lmao sure dude. I’ve “studied” it too.

Based on the nonsense you’re spewing, I’d guess you’re over 45-50 years old.

Things are much different now than you remember.

You guys are getting marriage rates & divorce rates conflated — it’s common knowledge that people are getting married later. That doesn’t mean they stay together.

What the ****? That’s not season suspension worthy.

[Scottie4Bro]

At this point doing anything with a female co-worker beyond required work conduct and basic greetings should be keenly avoided by any man. Odds are entirely stacked against us in this day and age.

And before you quote me, no I don't give a damn what your opinion on equality is or your thoughts on why this is akshually a good thing.

[Joshyjess]

This whole situation just shows the importance of getting women out of the workplace!!!! This is a man's world, and stuff like this wouldn't happen if those women weren't around causing all these problems!!!!!


LOL!! Yes, of course I'm kidding!!!!! (just want to be sure people know this is not a serious post, so they don't come after me with pitchforks!!! - just having a bit of fun in spite of another bad bit of news out of the Celtics camp)
Actually, you know what might be interesting, if Boston hires a female coach to fill in for the year - now wouldn't that be something!!!

[Pharmcat]

Is the other person being disciplined too?

I agree.

There will always be cases where they’ll say they felt forced to have a conversation with the coach/director/manager dude to a “power dynamic”, then all hell breaks loose.

[DonaldSanders]

What the ****? That’s not season suspension worthy.

Yeah I'm as one of the biggest progressives out there and if there isn't more to this story, the season long suspension is absolutely shocking. I do not get it. A fine and some games suspended would be plenty. I feel like there must be more than just a consensual relationship with a subordinate here. It's absolutely wrong for him to do but at this point we're punishing the entire organization, not just him.

I'd sooner make the fine massive. Plus, if it's season long it might even be in the org's best interest to just fire him. This is just bizarre so there must be more than what has been reported.

[HomoSapien]

I’m sorry, he’s being suspended a whole season for having a consentual relationship with someone. Clearly, something more is being withheld.

[anotherhomer]

A season-long suspension seems pretty excessive....

unless there's serious misconduct like abuse of power or coerced relationship, then it really sounds like Celtics are railroading another successful blackman

i don't think i've ever seen a white coach suspended for this type of crap

[Battletrigger]

Well, Rosa's was fired for the same, so one season is quite softer.

seriously, unless there's something signficantly more to it...
it looks like Ime is being railroaded

i can't see him coming back

very different, since Wolves weren't successfull, and new owners wanted to cleanhouse anyways

[Eric Bieniemy]

Honest Question: Haven't there been instances of WNBA players dating their assistant coaches?

Let me know if I'm wrong here.

[enigmatics]

It is very difficult to make an assessment until we have seen the club employee

She's probably is a smoke show when done up for a night out.

Warning - objectifying women

Thank you.

This is a holy **** moment for men who have common sense and aren’t simps.

So, Rosas gets fired for sleeping with a staff member in Minnesota but Ime Udoka gets suspended for 1 year?

That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in NBA history. Udoka is an idiot by default for cheating on Nia Long but he is a man who has the RIGHT to have options. A player who leads you to the Finals like Tatum, Brown wouldn’t be suspended if any did this personally with a a staff member.

Wait until we get all the facts before making those type of accusations

[Joshyjess]

BTW, does this mean that Udoka is no longer one of the favorites to win coach of the year?

[Zeno]

I am almost certain this is a sex in the office type deal.
