Ime Udoka is back in the NBA ... hired as the Houston Rockets new head coach just months after the Celtics cut ties with the talented coach over an inappropriate relationship with an employee of the organization.
On Monday, the 45-year-old reached a deal to become the new head man in Houston, two weeks after Houston declined to pickup Stephen Silas' option.
Most people agree Ime is a fantastic coach -- he most recently led the Celtics to the 2022 NBA Finals.
However, in September 2022, Udoka was suspended for the whole season after it was revealed he had a "consensual intimate relationship" with a female staffer, violating Boston's team policies.
