During the NBA offseason this year, people who eat melons do not lack melons. Durant’s trading lasted for nearly two months. Sun boss Saval was banned for one year and fined 10 million dollars. After that, he couldn’t withstand the pressure of public opinion and decided to sell the team. Then, the Celtics announced a one-year ban on coach Wu ducurno, which will take effect immediately. As for whether Wu ducurno can return to the handsome position in the future, it is still to be determined.
There had been precedents before when the stars were trading and the boss was forced to sell the team when touching the red line. But the team banned the coach who was involved in the Peach affair within the team, and was the key node that was likely to compete for the championship banned for one year? This kind of thing is hard to find a precedent in NBA history.
ESPN, a US media, has a huge database, which includes not only competition data, but also various data such as suspension and injury. However, in The report that Wu was banned ducurno, ESPN’s original text was: “the season-long suspension is largely unprecedented for a sitting head coach in The NBA.” The translation is: “For the NBA coach, being banned for a season is largely unprecedented.” ESPN is also afraid of missing, adding “to a large extent” from a rigorous point of view, but in any case, Wu ducurno was banned for a whole season.
With the history of NBA76 years, there are countless cases in which the coach finishes class because of his poor performance, and even many famous coaches have been fired. Many coaches have had the experience of being punished, but it is basically because of improper speech at the press conference, such as bombarding the referee and questioning the penalty. More seriously, some coaches were banned because of conflicts with the referee. However, these penalties all come from the league level, not the internal punishment of the team.
The biggest ticket that the search coach received was the one that could be found only in January 2003, the ticket of “7 games banned” received by former Jazz coach Jerry si long.
At the end of January, 2003, he defeated the king in the First World War in Jazz 101-92. Si long pushed corkland in front of the chest because he was dissatisfied with the judgment of referee Courtney corkland. He was expelled from the court and then banned 7 games by the league. Stuart Jackson, then vice president of NBA, said: “Obviously, si Long’s behavior has crossed the line. The message we want to send to him is very clear, that is, his behavior is not tolerated, the suspension matches his behavior.”
In the ESPN report at that time, it was also mentioned that the last time SI long was punished was in 1993. At that time, he was fined 2,000 dollars for beating the referee because he was dissatisfied with the penalty and banned one game. The interval between the two suspension is 10 years, which shows how often the coach is banned.
In addition, the biggest fine received by the coach came from the league’s punishment of the then Rockets coach Jeff Van Gandy in 2005. At that time, Van Gandy was fined 100000 dollars by the league in order to defend Yao Ming’s bombing of the referee.
The coach was fined and banned from the match because he couldn’t control his temper and the referee broke out. However, the coach was banned from the league or the team because of personal morality. Looking at the history, there was basically no precedent for checking.
In 2015, Derek Fisher, then Knicks coach, broke out conflicts with Matt Barnes, who played for the grizzly bear, because Fisher flew to Los Angeles to meet Barnes’s wife Gloria Gwan. Fisher was single after divorce at that time, and Barnes and gwan had been separated for a long time. Barnes ran into Fisher and gwan’s date. He accused Fisher of not doing so. The quarrel between the two broke out and rose to physical conflict.
Afterwards, Fisher was not punished as the party who was beaten, but Barnes was banned from the league for two matches because he hit people. Fisher was fired by the Knicks in the middle of the season, but it was not because of this off-site event. The main reason was that he led the team with a really poor record. He coached 136 games in the Knicks, with a record of 40 wins and 96 losses, the winning rate is 29.4%.
If the scope is expanded, it is not limited to NBA Coaches. Wikipedia has specially made a list of people who have been banned from NBA games. Many of them have been banned for life, A large part of it was drug-related. The only exception was the notorious Clippers owner Stirling, who was forced to sell the Clippers and leave NBA because of racial discrimination.
Most of the players who have been banned for a long time are players. For example, Metta World Peace, the protagonist of the Auburn mountain palace fight, was banned from 86 games (73 regular season games and 13 playoff games). Sparewell, who pinched the neck of coach kalessimo during training, was banned from 68 games (originally 82 games, but later decreased). Arenas, the protagonist of the gun door incident, was banned from 50 matches. The only exception is the warrior boss Stevens, who pushed Lowry to be banned for a whole year for the third game of the 2019 finals and was not allowed to watch NBA games on site, plus a fine of 500000 dollars.
Expand the scope, not limited to NBA. In NCAA, the famous coach Pitino was involved in the Peach incident in 2009 and the defendant went to court. Later, Pitino admitted to having a relationship with the woman in the trial. He specially held a press conference to admit his improper behavior, and his contract said, “if it is because of moral corruption, misconduct affects the reputation of the school, which has the right to terminate the contract with him”, but in the end, Louisville University chose to leave Pitino. It was not until 2017 that Pitino was forced to resign because he was involved in the bribery scandal.
In addition, some coaches touched the red line. For example, in May 2021, the coach of Creaton University, Greg McDermott, was banned for racial discrimination. He was banned from the internal competition of Creaton University. Can you guess how long he was banned? 5 days. McDermott cannot appear on campus these five days.
Judging from these cases, it is not unreasonable for famous people Paul Pierce and famous people Stephen A Smith to complain to Wu ducurno. Of course, Wu ducurno has to accept punishment for making mistakes, but whether this result is too heavy or not has some room for discussion. Unless the Wu ducurno incident was not exposed, it was far from as simple as cheating female colleagues.
