ESPN’s Jeff Van Gundy defends Ime Udoka’s character, believes he’ll get another shot at coaching

While several people wonder whether or not Ime Udoka should get a second chance at coaching, ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy voiced some support for the suspended Celtics coach.

During ESPN’s telecast of Friday’s Celtics-Heat game, Van Gundy supported Udoka’s chances to get another coaching job in the NBA while iterating multiple times he wasn’t sure what happened in Boston that led to him getting suspended.

“I want to make sure, because I feel strongly about this, Ime Udoka, I don’t know everything about that situation, but I know there’s a way back,” Van Gundy said.
