Celtics say they’re happy for Ime Udoka after Rockets hired him as head coach, but clear that they’re moving on from the topic as the playoffs progress.

Implies the scandal in Boston held a lot of teams back from pursuing Udoka. – 10:04 AM

“I can see Houston’s identity being tied into high-pressure switching with Şengün in the pick-and-roll and Smith roaming the baseline like Rob Williams.” theathletic.com/4447496/2023/0… – 9:44 AM

Multiple reports say Ime Udoka has agreed to be the head coach of the Houston Rockets.

One would assume the Ime Udoka hire will cost the Rockets a pretty penny.
You have to give Tilman Fertitta credit for allowing Rafael Stone to go chase and hire one of these big name coaches. – 7:46 PM

The Houston Rockets are hiring Ime Udoka as their new coach.
Now Udoka will have to finally explain why the Celtics fired him & Houston will have to explain why they are giving him a second chance.

More on this storyline
Jay King: Marcus Smart was emotional when Ime Udoka nearly landed with Brooklyn earlier. Now Udoka’s in Houston. Smart: “I’m past it but I’m still emotional. We built a connection together outside of basketball, me and Ime. So for him not to be here was tough but I’m just happy for him.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / April 25, 2023
Outside the Lines: “There was nothing that they found to be disqualifying to work again in the NBA.” @Adrian Wojnarowski discusses why the @Houston Rockets decided to hire Ime Udoka as their new HC, despite his controversial exit from Boston. -via Twitter / April 25, 2023
Bobby Manning: Al Horford kept it short discussing the reported Ime Udoka hire in Houston: “I think it’s good. It’s good for him. I’m happy for him.” “It’s good for him to get that opportunity. Our feel is, we have a big game ahead of us…that’s all we’re looking at right now.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / April 25, 2023
