Controversy continues to swirl around major NBA figures tonight as major media outlets have reported that Boston Celtics Head Coach Ime Udoka is facing disciplinary action for an intimate relationship with a member of his team’s staff. The relationship has been described as consensual, but many organizations prohibit intimacy between co-workers. If the staff member was in Udoka’s direct chain of command, further ethical issues arise. For now, the matter has been deemed a code of conduct violation.
Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news, albeit without detail, via Twitter:
ESPN Sources: Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka is facing possible disciplinary action – including a significant suspension – for an unspecified violation of organizational guidelines.
