The fall of the Celtics Coach now suspended for a year is a great example of how fast a person can fall.
Mark Twain famously said:
Of all the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse. He will go any length for it-risk fortune, character, reputation, life itself.
While there is always the odd exception for the most part he was spot on.
We still don’t know most of the story here but it would seem to me that a man like Ime Udoka, the head coach of a major team would not have a hard time finding women willing to put out. That he was either unable to do so outside the organization or was unwilling to hold himself back within it is rather amazing to me.
Of course to some who think such a situation is their divine right any bit of restraint is unwelcome.
I must confess I’m not feeling a lot of sympathy for Nia Long his “longtime partner” and finance who was reportedly “blindsided” by this.
According to this story, she’s been with Udoka since 2010, had a son with him in 2011 and they’ve been engaged since 2015.
Since 2015?
It seems to me that it would take a lot of effort to ignore what was going on and based on the Celtics reaction this doesn’t seem like a new problem but there is almost no limit to what a person will delude themselves when they wish to.
If this guy was really seriously he would have married her before the kid was born, on the plus side at least (to our knowledge) he didn’t push for an abortion.
Udoka players are not pleased with the situation. Given that he brought them within 2 wins of a title I can’t say as I blame them, but it’s Udoka’s own fault.
Given the reputations of athletes and women it will be interesting to see how much blame they assign to him vs the team or the staff or even to the woman or women involved.
Finally I’m shocked that this is a one year suspension. If this is as bad as I think it is, then it’s unlikely they will be bringing him back
I’d like to have had a listening device in the room when that security company made its report. It would be interesting to know why they didn’t decide to just cut bait.
I suspect there will be a lot of leaks over the next year , if that doesn’t cause them to dump him I don’t know what will be.
