Having essentially waited since Jason Kidd was fired in January for such news, the first report of candidates for the Milwaukee Bucks’ head coaching job was met with a surprising lack of enthusiasm by many on Thursday morning.
Bucks contingents on social media had been constantly chattering about potential candidates and the directions the franchise could opt for with their most important decision in years, yet when Mike Budenholzer, Steve Clifford, Monty Williams, David Blatt and David Fizdale (since hired by the Knicks) were listed as among the early contenders, the reaction seemed to be a collective shrug.
