Nope, too much baggage. Defector has an article today about urban covering up for Zack Smith

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Zach Smith situation is a strange one for Urban. He was basically, for lack of a better term, his godfather from a young age. Grandson of Earle Bruce who was a mentor for Urban. Knew him since birth.

On a professional level I agree there was a lot of covering up for an assistant coach. On a personal level, I vehemently disagree with the stance. If someone you have a connection with is dealing with domestic problems, your first job is to help them in any way you can. Urban probably took it too far if the rumors about him shutting up Smith's ex are true, but as a human you wouldn't want someone you almost consider a son being looked upon in that light.

Rant over. TLDR I think Urban was in a tough spot with the Smith situation
