The Boston Celtics have suspended coach Amy Odoka, 45, for the entire season.
The reason is that he broke internal rules.
According to several media outlets, Odoka started an intimate relationship with a woman in the cast.
“I want to apologize to the players, the fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down,” he told ESPN.
Ime Udoka had a great first season Boston Celtics Coach. He led the team to second place in the Eastern Conference and then to the finals in the playoffs.
But he won’t retaliate for the silver medal this season anyway.
The club chose to stop Udoka. The Celtics announced in a statement that they had broken internal rules, but did not say in any way. According to ESPN and The Athletic sources, the reason for the coach’s suspension is that he had an intimate relationship with a woman who works at the club.
I want to apologize to the players, the fans, the entire Celtic organization and my family for letting them down. I apologize for putting them in this difficult situation, and I agree with the team’s decision,” Odoka told ESPN.
Temporarily take over
It remains to be seen if Odoka will manage the Celtics again.
“A decision on his future with the Celtics after this season will be made at a later time.”The club writes on its website.
According to the announcer, assistant coach Joe Mazzola will become the interim coach.
Odoka’s punishment is as harsh as A NBA– Coach ever received.
