BUCKS FIRE THEIR HEAD COACH. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD A 30-13 START! WHAT THE HELL?
BREAKING NEWS
The Bucks have FIRED Adrian Griffin after a 30-13 start. What the hell?
"This was a difficult decision to make during the season," said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst in a statement. "We are working immediately toward hiring our next head coach. We thank Coach Griffin for his hard work and contributions to the team."
Why would you fire your head coach when he’s gone 30-13? Now when you’re Monty Williams, you should get fired, but what is this?
Milwaukee hired Griffin over the summer to replace longtime coach Mike Budenholzer, who was fired after Milwaukee's first-round exit last postseason. Months after the hire, the Bucks swung a blockbuster trade to acquire Damian Lillard -- putting pressure on the franchise to win big this season.
Okay, THEY ARE WINNING!
The Bucks are planning to pursue a very few group of people, who MUST be accomplished? Doc Rivers is the top target for the job.
Veteran assistant Joe Prunty will take over as interim coach. Horst will speak at a news conference Wednesday, before the Bucks' next home game with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It really doesn’t matter how they win, but ESPN says this.
But despite the impressive record, the Bucks have struggled at times, particularly on defense. They've slipped from fourth on defense last season to 22nd this year and just gave up 135 and 113 points in back-to-back games against the Detroit Pistons.
