Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck says suspension of coach Ime Udoka the
result of monthslong investigation          By Tim Bontemps

Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said the organization's decision to
suspend Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-23 NBA season came after an
investigation by an independent law firm uncovered multiple violations of
team policies.

"I am concerned about the situation and its impact on everybody in the
Celtics' organization," Grousbeck said during a news conference Friday
morning at the team's practice facility. "I do hope this represents the
beginning of a new chapter, and a chance to turn the page and move forward
with things, to some extent, resolved."

Both Grousbeck and Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens
said little about the specifics of the case involved, or what policies Udoka
violated. Sources previously told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Udoka had an
intimate relationship with a female member of the franchise's staff.

塞爾提克隊老闆 Wyc Grousbeck 表示，一家獨立律師事務所的調查到 Udoka 多起違反球
隊政策，並決定禁賽 Udoka 整個賽季。

老闆在新聞發布會上說：我擔心這種情況會對塞爾提克中的每個人有所影響，我確實希望
這代表著一個新篇章的開始，並在某種程度上解決問題的機會。

Wyc Grousbeck和Brad Stevens都對所涉案件的具體情況以及Udoka實際違反了哪些球隊政
策幾乎沒有談到。 根據之前報導，Udoka 與球隊的一名女性員工有著親密的關係。


Grousbeck said once the organization had been made aware of a potential
situation in the organization within the past few weeks, it hired the law
firm to conduct an investigation, which concluded Wednesday.

It was at that point the team chose to suspend Udoka for a full season, with
Grousbeck saying the suspension will end June 30, 2023 -- the final day of
the 2022-23 league year. He said it would come with a "significant" financial
penalty, and that no one besides Udoka within the organization was going to
be disciplined as a result of the investigation.

Other than that, however, both Grousbeck and Stevens offered few specifics on
what transpired and how the decision came to be, nor would they discuss what
it would take for Udoka to return to the organization after his suspension
ends, saying only that it would be discussed "at a later date," as the team
said in its statement Thursday night.

Grousbeck 表示，塞爾提克在過去幾週內了解到 Udoka 潛在的情況，於是聘請了律師事
務所進行調查，並在週三時結案。

而球隊選擇讓 Udoka 禁賽整個賽季，Grousbeck 表示，停賽將在 2023 年 6 月 30 日結
束，也就是 2022-23 賽季的最後一天。 他說，這將帶給來 Udoka 重大的財務處罰。除
了 Udoka 之外，沒有人會因為本次調查而受到處分。

Wyc Grousbeck和Brad Stevens都沒透露事件的具體細節，他們也沒有討論 Udoka 在禁賽
結束後需要做什麼，只說會在日後會進行了討論。


Stevens also declined to answer when asked directly whether Udoka would be
able to have contact with anyone within the organization during his
suspension.

Grousbeck did, however, defend the decision to suspend Udoka for the entire
season, saying on multiple occasions it was the right outcome.

"We're not going to get into our deliberations," Grousbeck said. "This felt
right, but there's no clear guidelines for any of this. It's conscience and
gut feel.

"We collectively came to this and got there but it was not clear what to do
but it was clear something substantial needed to be done, and it was."

Stevens began his remarks by getting emotional, speaking of the impact the
past couple of days had on women throughout the organization.

"It's been a hard time," Stevens said. "The only thing I would like to say is
that I thought, and Wyc mentioned it already, we have a lot of talented women
in our organization and I thought [Thursday] was really hard on them.

"Nobody can control Twitter speculation and rampant bulls---, but I do think
we as an organization have a responsibility to support them now, because a
lot of people were dragged unfairly into that."

"I do hope this represents the beginning of a new chapter, and a chance to
turn the page and move forward with things, to some extent, resolved."

當被問及 Udoka 是否能夠在禁賽期間與球隊內的任何人聯繫時，Stevens拒絕回答了這個
問題。

而老闆Grousbeck表示禁賽整個賽季的決定是正確的結果

“我們不會進入審議，畢竟這事件沒有明確的指導方針。這是靠良心和直覺。我們不清楚
該做什麼，但很明顯我們需要做一些實質性的事情，而且確實如此。”

Stevens情緒激動的說 “這是一段艱難的時期，我唯一想說的是，我認為我們的組織中有
很多才華橫溢的女性，這段時間對她們來說真的辛苦。畢竟沒有人能控制推特上對女性工
作人員的無端猜臆——但我認為我們作為一個組織有責任支持他們，因為很多人對他們
而言被無端拖入這起事件是不公平的。“

老闆表示“我確實希望這代表著一個新篇章的開始，並在某種程度上解決問題。”


Stevens confirmed that assistant coach Joe Mazzulla, 34, would be taking over
on an interim basis. Mazzulla is tied with former Celtics assistant and
current Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy as the youngest coaches in the
league. Mazzulla's only head-coaching experience is two seasons at a Division
II college, Fairmont State in West Virginia, before being hired by Stevens as
an assistant in 2019.

Still, Stevens believes Mazzulla is the right person.

"Joe's going to be in charge," Stevens said. "It's not an easy timing for him
or the rest of the staff. But he's an exceptionally sharp and talented
person. I believe strongly in him and his ability to lead people, his ability
to galvanize a room and get behind him, and his ability to organize and
understand all that comes with running a team during the season."

Stevens was asked if he considered taking over, given he'd spent eight years
coaching the Celtics and leading them to the Eastern Conference finals three
times before moving to replace Danny Ainge last summer and hiring Udoka to
coach. Stevens said he did not -- though Grousbeck chimed in that there was a
brief conversation between the two about it.


"There's a lot of factors in play of why I wouldn't necessarily even want to
do that," Stevens said. "But I do think that -- and I've told Joe this -- I'm
going to be there for him, without stepping on his toes, as much as he needs.
"But he doesn't need much. I believe in that strongly."

Stevens證實，34歲的助理教練Joe Mazzulla將成為代理教練。Mazzulla 與現任猶他爵士
隊教練 Will Hardy 並列聯盟最年輕的教練。Mazzulla 唯一的總教練經歷是在
Division II的Fairmont州立大學工作兩年，然後在 2019 年被Stevens聘為助理教練。

儘管如此，Stevens 仍然相信 Mazzulla 是合適的人選。

 “Mazzulla 將掌控一切，對於他或其他員工來說，這不是一個容易的時間點。但他是一
個非常敏銳和才華橫溢的人。我堅信他和他的領導人能力，他能激發一隻球隊並管理一支
球隊。”

Stevens 被問到是否考慮接手總教練的位置，畢竟他才在去年夏天接替Danny Ainge，
且曾在塞爾提克執教八年並帶領他們三度進入東區決賽。Stevens說他沒有考慮接手總教練
的位置，但老闆 Wyc Grousbeck說兩人之間有就此進行了簡短的交談。

Stevens表示有很多因素讓我不想接任。但我確實告訴 Mazzull 只要他需要，我會在他身
邊，不會過多干涉。我相信他不會需要太多幫助。”


Stevens addressed Mazzulla's arrests while he was a student at West Virginia
University. He was arrested in 2008 for underage drinking and aggravated
assault, a case in which he pleaded guilty and paid a fine, and then in 2009
for domestic battery after an incident at a Morgantown bar, a case that was
settled out of court and didn't go to trial.

When he hired Mazzulla as an assistant coach in 2019, Stevens said he
"thoroughly" vetted Mazzulla, and those incidents in particular, and said he
believes Mazzulla has learned from them and that Stevens himself personally
believes in Mazzulla's character.

"I will tell you this: I believe strongly in Joe's substantiveness as a
person," Stevens said. "I believe strongly, and he'll tell you, he's been
very open with me about how those moments impacted him in every which way and
you can see it in the way he carries himself. You could see that for a long
time. We've had years to get to know him.

"I believe strongly that that probably shaped him into who he is today in a
really, really good way. But he'll be the first to tell you, he's 110%
accountable for that, and I'll be the first to tell you that I believe in
him."

Grousbeck said that both he and Stevens have met with the players ahead of
training camp starting next week and he said he would characterize their
feelings as "very concerned" about what has transpired.

"It's not a welcome development," Grousbeck said.

"But they also, I felt, have energy and focus and commitment and drive to
really accomplish great things hopefully this season. So that's the
commitment I'm feeling from the players and I bet, based on last year and
based on everything we know about them, I think that we will be fulfilled."

Stevens 談到在 Mazzulla 大學時期曾被捕。Mazzulla於 2008 年因未成年飲酒和嚴重毆
打而被捕，事後他認罪並支付了罰款，然後在 2009 年在 Morgantown 酒吧發生毆打事件
而被捕，該案在則達成了庭外和解。

當 Stevens 在 2019 年聘請 Mazzulla 擔任助理教練時，就曾針對過去那些事件就徹底
調查了 Mazzulla，並表示他相信 Mazzulla 已經學到了教訓，Stevens 本人也相信
Mazzulla 的性格。

Stevens表示 “我堅信Mazzulla的本質，他一直對我非常坦誠，關於那些事件，你可以從
他的行為舉止了解到過去錯誤的行為是如何影響著他。我相信這是非常好的方式造就了今
天的他。他會告訴你，過往的事件他有110% 的責任，而我將是第一個告訴你我相信著他
。”

Grousbeck說，他和 Stevens 在下週的訓練營之前會球員們會面，並關心著球員們對整起
事件的內心感受。

“這不是一個樂見的發展，但我覺得，他們有能量、專注、承諾和動力，希望在本賽季完
成偉大的事情，這是我從球員身上感受到的。我敢打賭，基於去年和我們所知道的一切，
我認為我們會完成偉大的事業。
