The Boston Celtics are suspending head coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-2023 season.
A Rhode Island native is set to take over on an interim basis.
The Celtics suspended Udoka for undisclosed violations of team policies.
Multiple reports have indicated he had a consensual relationship with an unnamed person affiliated with the team.
ESPN reports C's assistant coach Joe Mazzulla, a graduate of Bishop Hendricken High School, has been named interim head coach.
Mazzulla led the boys' basketball team to three consecutive state championships in 2004, '05 and '06.
