Multiple sources, including ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski are reporting that the Houston Rockets are going to hire Ime Udoka the team’s next coach. Apparently ownership and the front office were comfortable with their research into the workplace relationship that lead to the suspension/dismissal of Udoka from the Boston Celtics at the start of the season in 2022.
Details on what happened in Boston remain sparse, so it seems best not to speculate.
There’s little to criticize with Udoka’s on court performance, and lot of doubt regarding what lead a team that experienced a remarkable turnaround, and a trip to the NBA Finals to part ways with the coach the lead them there.
