Bucks Head Coach Search: Temperature Check (UPDATE: Lue News)
The last time Milwaukee was in this situation was five years ago, and on this day exactly in 2018, they officially announced Mike Budenholzer as their head coach after a search that lasted nineteen days, ostensibly. Recall that the 2017–18 Bucks were helmed by one Jason Kidd, fired that January, and replaced on an interim basis by Joe Prunty. Their season ended with a Game 7 loss in Boston on April 28th and in the ensuing weeks interviewed a reported eight candidates (including recently-fired Suns head coach Monty Williams). Woj tweeted that Bud got the job on May 16th, eighteen days after their season ended.
