The first round of the NBA playoffs hasn't concluded, but already head coaching vacancies have materialized in New York, Orlando, Charlotte and Phoenix, with decisions on interim coaches to be made in Milwaukee and Memphis (sources suggest the Grizzlies are quite fond of J.B. Bickerstaff, who may stick around long-term), in addition to other spots where upheaval may or may not occur (Detroit, Atlanta, LA Clippers).
The pool of coaching talent might be more impressive than ever, but so are the position's degree of difficulty and the expectations that come with it. The Milwaukee Bucks' job, should the team move on from interim head coach Joe Prunty, is an encapsulation of all the allure and potential landmines of the present-day job of NBA head coach.
