It began as awkwardly as a coaching tenure could start.
The Milwaukee Bucks were fresh off of drafting the second overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, Jabari Parker, and there was a growing excitement surrounding the team as well as the new ownership group of Marc Lasry, Jamie Dinan and Wes Edens.
After all, it was the moral victory of going through the team’s worst season in the history of the franchise and the collective fanbase was still feeling the scars from the previous eight months.
It was then only 48 hours later after the draft that reports came out that the Bucks were interested in hiring Jason Kidd.
