The Milwaukee Bucks are said to be aggressively pursuing former Coach of the Year winner Monty Williams, who might not have to wait long to land his next job as a head coach.
Williams had been the head coach of the Phoenix Suns since 2019. That was until he was also let go following another playoff disappointment versus Denver.
It was a largely up-and-down tenure for Williams in Phoenix. He racked up wins in the regular season like nobody’s business but eventually faltered when it mattered the most. He faced similar criticism to now-former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer; he’s a brilliant regular season coach who comes up short when the lights are brightest.
