Ime Udoka To Be Named As Houston Rockets New Head Coach Following Boston Celtics Cheating Scandal, Fans React
Ime Udoka has secured a new job after previously serving as the head coach for the Boston Celtics.
On Monday (April 24) ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski announced via Twitter that the Houston Rockets will hire Ime Udoka as their next head coach.
According to reports, Ime Udoka, 45, will replace Stephen Silas in Houston. The 49-year-old’s overall record as the Rockets’ head coach was 59-177 over the last three seasons.
Reports of Udoka’s new position come after a year-long suspension for policy violations was handed to him by the Boston Celtics.
You may recall that Udoka was penalized after his intimate relationship with a female staff member was revealed. The relationship between Udoka and the staffer breached a violation of the Boston Celtics’ guidelines. As a result, Udoka was suspended for the entire 2022-2023 season.
The situation was extra juicy in terms of media coverage due to Udoka being in a relationship with his long-term partner Nia Long, 52, during the time the scandal was announced.
Following the affair being made public, the two ended their relationship – which spanned more than a decade. The pair had been engaged since 2015. They share an 11-year-old son named Kez together.
Fans have since reacted to the news of Udoka’s return to the NBA.
