    The second-year coach’s punishment is a result of an intimate relationship with a female member of the organization, as The Athletic first reported Thursday morning. Some members of the Celtics organization first became aware of the relationship in July, sources said. At that time, team leadership was led to believe by both parties that the relationship was consensual. But sources said that the woman recently accused Udoka of making unwanted comments toward her — leading the team to launch a set of internal interviews. The team’s decision and announcement came after a closed-door meeting Thursday that involved team owners and president Brad Stevens and lasted several hours, sources said.

    I’m cynical. The fact that they didn’t just fire him because I guess they want to save money unfortunately makes me cast doubt on what the really happened. Just totally speculating once again, I wonder if it started as a consensual relationship and then something happened where they no longer got along and then things got nasty…

    So he ended the fling and she renagged….

    He was rumoured to be on break with long term fiancé Nia Long who was on record saying they were never going to marry. A few weeks ago she decided to move to Boston long term.

    I’m not ready to crucify the dude just yet/

    Gotta be more to this story as many have said. If it’s that bad fire him based off violation of team rules but don’t disclose why. For the woman he interacted with his firing is more than enough plus you put out corporate wide training on sexual harassment and resend the code of conduct.
    Yes the press and internet would speculate but that press or today was a farce.
    The owner was acting as though it wasn’t that big a deal but Steven’s face looked like he had listened to multiple women describe Udoka as a sexual predator. Unless Udoka wouldn’t play ball a resignation/settlement with no press conference just introducing the new head coach would have been better.

    “after finding out the details” (regarding the situation involving Ime Udoka in Boston), it’s “deep, it’s messy and it’s 100 times uglier than any of us thought”

    Matt Barnes is damn connected and not a your typical media . He thinks before he speaks and understands what sources mean.

    Listened to that.
    Wow.
    This does not sound good. Surely more will be coming out at some point.
    This is not going to remain a secret, IMO.

    Yup and he has no reason to trash Udoka and defended him initially…
    But if it was Derek Fisher …

    haha 0.04 STILLLL HURTS so maybe the reason I rock with Barnes heavy is subconscious but I do trust his journalistic approach.

    Playing devil’s advocate he may just be trynna slide into Nia Long’s DMs cause he has a list of baddies.

    And to think if Will Hardy stuck around he may be the head coach of the next NBA Champions right now.

    ^ Celts were overrated to begin with. Tatum/Brown is a nice combo but they are simply a solid team in a strong conference.

    Warriors played with them when it counted like a cat with a mouse.

    They’ve reportedly been separated for a few months.

    Well this makes even less sense then. Suspended for a year for dating a co-worker? Give me a break.

    There are more, albeit unconfirmed, rumors flying around. He might've been hooking up with more than one employee. One of them may be pregnant. And the latest rumors are even question the consensual part of the original report.

    There seems to be a little more to this than Ime just dating a co-worker.

    The Celtics hired an independent law firm to sort this mess out. Suffice to say that their final report would make for an interesting read.

    Guys, how will this effect Coach Pop’s legacy? Last June, part of Ime’s success in making it to the finals was attributed to PATFO… atleast on this board.

    Barnes IG post, if his inside info is to be believed, further muddies the punishment that was meted. If it’s that “messy” why stop at suspending Udoka as opposed to outright termination. The other person must’ve had committed violations at some point in the sequence. The balance of offense was still tilted towards coach, but the other party had no clean hands.

    Ask yourself if it was a white coach and a black woman would the outcome be the same?
    White coach would get it worse.

    Where was she living before? Why did she move to Boston if they were never going to marry (I am guessing it was for the kids if they weren't together anymore)? Makes no sense to me. I am going to hold of saying anything bad about him. Need a lot more details. When I first read this, didn't want him back in SA, but if it isn't as bad as they're making it out to be, definitely would like him back with the Spurs as HC.

    What are the Jaylen Brown rumors?

    My issue is how the Celtics are handling this. (Ime most definitely did screw up, but to what extent is hard to say yet.) Brad Stevens seemed very sincere in the press conference, and I don’t know all the twitter trolling about female staffers, but what do you expect when there is a supposed consensual relationship and Ime is the one getting unilaterally dragged by the organization? And they keep mentioning “unwanted comments” by Ime. Pretty vague.

    Wanted comments: “Yeah, I’ll marry you!”
    Unwanted comments: “Nah, maybe let’s just move on”?
    Some people will think that. And I might be one of them.

    I get it that Boston has a very problematic situation here, but they still seem to be dancing around the situation.

    Summary:
    During the summer Ime had an affair with a married team employee, married to a Celtics VP. Both said it was consensual, the Celtics let warned them to cut it out and they did.
    Some time afterwards, some actions on the part of Ime caused said woman to report it and an investigation was called. Supposedly results came that Ime was having MULTIPLE affairs with married women that worked for the Celtics, one of which is POTENTIALLY with child.
    The Celtics tried to keep it in house but the VP threatened to sue the Celtics and go public with all the evidence. They're trying to reach settlements.

    Source: I have been told it is Kathleen Lynch. Can't 100% confirm it yet but she has disabled her LinkedIn profile. Her husband reported it to the Celtics organization

    FWIW and consider the source is stain Matt Barnes:

    "Last night, without knowing all the facts, I spoke in Ime Udoka's defense," Barnes said in the video. "After finding out the facts, I erased what I posted. This situation in Boston is deep. It's messy. It's 100 times uglier than any of us thought...Some things happened that I can't condone, and I can't back."
