With Nick Nurse now the former coach of the Toronto Raptors, the team is searching for its next bench boss. Watson, Udoka, Atkinson, someone else?
Masai Ujiri was asked if any of the top assistants would be back and didn’t shed too much light on the subject. “We are making big changes, but I am sure will have conversations or we’ll all have conversations with the staff and we’ll go from there,” Ujiri said.: Udoka has ties to Ujiri and was interviewed for the job that ultimately went to Nurse back in 2018.
ESPN reported an independent law firm probe “found that he used crude language in his dialogue with a female subordinate prior to the start of an improper workplace relationship with the woman, an element that significantly factored into the severity of his suspension.”Article content Ujiri ran down a list of things he’d be looking for in the next coach at his media conference on Friday. He led off that the franchise would be evaluating “character, quality of a person,” before getting into other areas such as discipline and style of play.
Would a franchise that has repeatedly showed how much it values women go this route unless more details emerge painting Udoka in a better light? Team sources have said in the past that Udoka deserves another chance and you can’t argue with his team’s on-court results, or his history with the extremely successful San Antonio Spurs.
The timeline for a hiring is uncertain, but the preference would be to have the next coach in place by the draft in June, Ujiri said.
