Despite criticism, Celtics appear to have dealt with Udoka situation quite well

We live in a current society where people think either someone did nothing wrong and shouldn't be punished or they need to be cancelled forever. Quite the extremes. Since the news came out of Ime Udoka's "significant suspension," which then turned into a full season, we've either "A year is too harsh a punishment!" or "If it was bad enough to warrant a year suspension he should be fired!"

Brad Stevens stressed empathy today. Maybe instead of either a "slap on wrist" or "cancelled" extremes, a fair and lengthy suspension is the absolute right punishment. For all we know this suspension is the first step in the process to fire Udoka with cause.
