Ime Udoka Used Crude Language with Work Wife Prior to Entanglement


Two weeks ago Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka was suspended for the 2022-2023 season after an internal investigation uncovered an improper relationship between Udoke and female subordinate [click here if you missed that]. 

New details shed more light on the incident...

From ESPN
The independent law firm probe into Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka found that he used crude language in his dialogue with a female subordinate prior to the start of an improper workplace relationship with the woman, an element that significantly factored into the severity of his one-year suspension, sources told ESPN.
Those investigative findings -- which described verbiage on Udoka's part that was deemed especially concerning coming from a workplace superior -- contribute to what is likely a difficult pathway back to his reinstatement as Celtics coach in 2023, sources told ESPN.
The power dynamic associated with a superior's improper relationship with a staff member was the primary finding and policy violation cited in the law firm's report, which was commissioned by the Celtics and completed early last week, sources said.
