Ime Udoka was introduced as the new coach of the Rockets on Wednesday, and he faced several questions regarding his suspension and eventual ouster from the Celtics.
Udoka was issued a full-year suspension by the Celtics last offseason for a violation of team rules stemming from an inappropriate relationship with a female subordinate in the organization. Udoka and the Celtics parted ways midseason, and the interim tag was removed from Joe Mazzulla, who subsequently signed a contract extension to become the team’s permanent coach.
When asked about the interview process with the Rockets and the discussion regarding the end of his brief tenure with the Celtics, Udoka described how it all came together.
