As the Milwaukee Bucks settle into life without Jason Kidd, uncertainty remains around what the team’s long term head coaching plan will look like.
Long-time assistant coach Joe Prunty will fulfil the role of interim head coach until the end of the season, but according to general manager Jon Horst, the plan is to initiate an expanded search process at that point.
“We’ll go into the summer and have an extensive coaching search, and hopefully find a great coach for this organization.”
Considering the considerable young and developing talent at Milwaukee’s disposal, not to mention a top-five player in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks are a remarkably appealing prospect for any coaches on the look out for a high potential job, and for the franchise’s future it’s essential that the owners identify a suitable candidate.
