A coach worse than the one we just fired. And yeah, we ain’t getting Nurse or Lue. This team seems weirdly disinterested in both. I just don’t get it
The fuck?
This sucks
Oh neat. Go after the dude that got out-coached by the guy who routinely drooled on himself and spaced out instead of coaching at crucial moments. Fun stuff.
I will stop watching and will prepare myself for Giannis to leave if they hire this bum. Horst should be absolutely canned if we hire the coach that lost to the coach we just fired in the Finals.
Someone explain why we aren’t going after Nick Nurse. This is ridiculous. Monty has the exact same problems that Bud has.
I’d be fine if this is the direction they went.
Whole fan base is bunch or whining adults 😂😂 he was on my list the second Phoenix let him go. Quinn, Cassel, Lue, Nurse & Monty! Get one and I’m happy.
This seems like a lateral move, but there are worse people they could be aggressively pursuing. I’m still surprised we haven’t seen Nurse, Hammon or the other obvious candidates mentioned. Hopefully they’re just playing it close to the best.

Idk man, maybe Monty might work better for the Buck if he wasn’t around chokers like CP3 and quitters like Ayton, Jae or coach killer like KD.
Monty has shown that he can be very good in the playoff if his team is willing to buy into his system. He did implement some really good ball movements system back in 2021-2022 before Phoenix blown up their depths and replaced it with iso KD.
Now that’s being said, dude is still not some proven lv playoff coaches like Pop, Spo or Nurse
pls no.
wake me up when we actually hire someone
Coach Bud can you still come back?
this limp dick organization is afraaaid of going after anyone who will fully commit and instead are going after these losers
I’ve secretly been hoping we go after Monty the second PHO announced his dismissal. I seen so many people call him the one coach that Bud outcoached in the playoffs and kept my feelings to myself. I also think Monty is Giannis’ choice as well and if Monty is Giannis’ guy that’s who we should get. Last thing we need is an egomaniac like George Karl to come in and run your Franchise player out of town.
Monty took over a PHO team that only won 19 games the season before he arrived and within 2 years lead them to the Finals. I think that franchise is nuts for blaming this years performance on the coach when they traded half the team away for a Star player that only played 8 games for him before the playoffs. No chemistry and no depth and not Monty’s fault.
Theres a world where a Bucks-Suns finals happens and its monty vs bud but on opposite teams this time.
not that i necessarily want him, but i wonder if the 76ers will fire doc and what level the bucks interest in him would be
Wait wait wait, what!? We want someone who makes adjustments, not someone who left Ayton on Giannis for a full series
We’re running back the roster that lost in the 1st round and we’ll somehow have a worse coach than Bud. Funny organization.
Ty Lue (if available), Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel in that order. Everybody else would be a downgrade
The one playoff team we have figured out… let’s hire their coach.
wait why?
Seems like we’re casting a wide net and exploring all options
I think this is in part because Giannis respects Monty, I mean he took him into the Bucks locker room after we won the finals so he could speak to the team. Don’t think it’s the best choice but if Giannis wants it then who am I to disagree
I vote for whoever giannis wants
People are also forgetting that Monty and Jrue are close from their Pelicans days
maybe this is why they’re dropping names like scott brooks and mark jackson. monty seems like a genius next to those guys

This is the type of uninspiring hire that could cause Giannis to leave. Why fire Bud if you’re not going to hire an upgrade?
It cracks me up when people simp for “championship winning” coaches, when in the history of sports only the literal GOATs of coaching win rings with more than one team. Like Phil Jax and Riley.
Bud had never won a ring until he did. Lue never won a ring until he did. Nurse or Vogel never won a ring until he did.
You don’t want to be that team drooling over a coach because he won a ring in the perfect situation one time. That’s how you end up with the carrousel of the likes of Larry Brown and Doc Rivers destroying your franchise.
Sam Cassell would be my under the radar choice.
I can’t believe Phoenix fired Monty. Huge mistake.

Only good thing I see about Monty is that he’d speak up on the occasions Giannis gets hosed by the refs
I think lue would be the perfect fit for the bucks I can’t lie
This is the next coach – whether you like it our not. Been my opinion since we let Bud go. When the Bucks won the championship and Monty came into the locker room, Giannis spoke up and told everyone to listen. That moment right there showed his respect for him as a person. This is the guy Giannis will want which isn’t the only important voice – but it’s pretty damn important.
I think I like this? Some concerns about his playoff coaching similar to Bud. Does seem to be a very good motivator, and a very good guy. Certainly he’s not a bad coach by any stretch of the imagination.
I think i’d rather have nurse, but i’d be happy with monty
It could be worse.
I’m ok with this. I know a lot of people aren’t a fan, but I think he’s a very good coach.
[But why](https://media.tenor.com/nusLNurdn3gAAAAC/ryan-reynolds-but-why.gif)
im a little out of the look, did nurse say no? I was under to immpression he was the go-to guy
Why not even interview Hammon?
The coach who they smoked in the finals is the answer? Hmm, bold move.
