[Shams] Sources: After Nick Nurse pulled out of the process, the Milwaukee Bucks are deciding between Toronto Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin and Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson for the franchise’s next head coach. Griffin is gaining traction in the process.

Anybody know what he means by Nurse pulling out? Is that just with respect to Milwaukee or coaching whatsoever this season?
Nurse to suns or sixers atp
Bucks hired Griffin
Nurse is still in play nice
So it’s between us and Phoenix for Nick Nurse. I hope we get him.
I’d guess Nurse to Sixers rn. Windhorst said that for a reason
Pulled out of their process
Windy said the other day he considers the Sixers the most attractive of the openings. Whether he is right, who knows, but these job openings aren’t all about rosters. Ownership, stability, and willing to shell out money for a coach are also factors. If he’s the Sixers guy, I guess we’ll see if they can lure him.
Nurse is probably the pick of the available coaches crop, but still interesting that the Bucks – who are the probably the closest of the teams needing a new coach to a championship – picked the guy who has been working directly under Nurse.
He’s going to the suns isn’t he
The word “process” is distorted these days
I dunno. I was kinda liking Vogel or Monty Williams.
If you’re Nick Nurse, you have the choice of either two Lambos or an Escalade and a Dodge Intrepid. Yea, he’s going to the Suns.
Pulled out of the PROCESS
Shams basically just confirmed Nurse to Philly #TTP /s
I’m sure whoever we Don’t hire will be surprisingly good and whoever we Do hire will be surprisingly bad.
I’m not 100% sold on anyone as a head coach, and while I definitely think Vogel or Nurse are an upgrade over Doc, I still think we have player roster issues when we compare the Sixers to Boston and Milwaukee. Issues I’m not convinced better coaching could help us get over.
Cautiously optimistic about the future, but I hope whatever coach we get can fix a lot of our issues.
Wow do the Bucks even realize there are “wInNerS wItH rIngz” available out there?
How can they hire this guy when world champions like Doc Rivers and Frank Vogel are available?
What a strangely forward thinking, upside oriented, creative hire geared towards finding the next great coach and not just a retread with a ring.
