Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been in Ime Udoka’s shoes before.
In 2020, Cora agreed to step down from his post as Boston’s manager before getting suspended for a full season due to his role in the Astros’ sign steeling signal.
But Cora, who returned to the Red Sox following the 2020 season, didn’t offer any advice to the Celtics coach who was suspended for the upcoming NBA season after breaking multiple team violations.
“I don’t want to go there,” Cora said when asked about the matter on Friday.
The situation gave Cora a chance to reflect on his year away from the game.
