DALLAS — Because the Nets don’t have enough drama with just their suspended star, they’re looking to add a suspended coach. But team owner Joe Tsai has been hearing concerns about Ime Udoka from both within his organization and without.

With the Nets already embroiled in a public relations nightmare — Irving’s promotion of an anti-Semitic movie and refusal to apologize — doubling down by hiring Udoka could be a black eye for the NBA. He was suspended for the season by the Boston Celtics for having an affair with a married staff member, sending inappropriate text messages and a “volume of violations.”

Small wonder that the Nets have not only drawn criticism from various women’s groups over the prospect of hiring Udoka, but also are believed to have held a meeting where several female staff members expressed concerns.

The Nets and parent company BSE have impressive female representation, led by vice chair Clara Wu Tsai (Tsai’s wife), the chief HR officer, four executive vice presidents and four vice presidents. Wu Tsai is a philanthropic investor and active in numerous social justice issues, even set to be honored Wednesday by the Municipal Arts Society.

Marc Stein reported that there are “strong voices” urging Tsai not to hire Udoka, and The Post confirmed that those voices are completely separate of the ones that spoke up in the aforementioned meeting, not coming from parent company BSE Global in Brooklyn but NBA headquarters on Fifth Ave.

The league itself could well be involved. Commissioner Adam Silver is charged with protecting the “integrity” of the NBA. A league source confirmed that the commissioner likely could step in under these circumstances, but added such a drastic move would probably draw legal action.

Udoka’s volume of violations is vile enough that not only are the Celtics willing to let a promising young coach who steered them into the NBA Finals in his rookie campaign walk to a division competitor with no compensation whatsoever, but his suspension was set to cost him half his estimated $4 million pay according to Stein.

Despite all that, the Nets appear to be, if not quite full steam ahead on Udoka — slowed by the slog of due diligence, vetting and outside concerns — at least still on the track.

After both ESPN and the Athletic had predicted the hiring could come as early as last Wednesday, and ESPN termed it as imminent last Friday, Udoka is still believed to be the leader in the clubhouse.

Nets GM Sean Marks responded to a Friday question from The Post about the coaching search with a brief, “We’ll deal with that one another time.”

Still, both he and Kevin Durant are believed to be in favor of Udoka, who was fired coach Steve Nash’s de facto defensive coordinator in 2020-21.

Udoka has a good relationship with Durant, winning gold with the star on Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and helping the Nets to an Eastern Conference semifinal classic against eventual-champion Milwaukee the following year.

Last season, Udoka’s Celtics held Durant to .386 shooting in a sweep of the Nets.

“He’s a player’s coach,” Durant said at the time. “He played the game. The NBA is a grind, so he understands the work you’d have to put in each day individually.

“He’s played with some of the greatest players of all time and under arguably one of the greatest coaches in any sport, so it’s a lot of knowledge he gained from there and [as] an assistant coach for so long. He went through the grind as a player and as a coach, and throughout that time he just understood what winning basketball is like.”

It’s also worth noting that Ben Simmons’ best season — when he was third-team All-NBA and runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year — came in 2020 when Udoka was an assistant in Philadelphia. Getting Simmons, 26, back anywhere close to form will be imperative for the Nets.

Jacque Vaughn was 2-1 as interim entering Monday’s game in Dallas, after being 7-3 in his earlier stint as interim. He’s been a Nets assistant since 2016 after being the head coach in Orlando for parts of three seasons.
