The Milwaukee Bucks are searching for a new coach after firing Mike Budenholzer on Thursday.
Budenholzer coached five years with the Bucks, compiling a 271-120 regular season record, winning 69.3 percent of his games. He won the NBA Coach of the Year Award in 2019. The Bucks held a 39-26 record in the playoffs during Budenholzer’s tenure, a 60.0 percent postseason winning percentage. Budenholzer led Milwaukee to the 2021 NBA Championship.
However, after failing to reach the NBA Finals in 2022 and losing in the first round to the Miami Heat last week in five games, the Bucks parted ways with Budenholzer.
