    This is fine. We’re fine. Giannis obviously asked for Scott Brooks duh.

    If we hire Scott Brooks I’ll be more disappointed in this team than maybe ever before

  3. lovehewitt

    Sounds like the new owners are doing exactly what they do to their other franchises. Absolute ineptitude. I had more faith in horst

  4. Just bring Bud back if you’re going to do stupid shit like this.

  5. Nomorenightcrawlers

    Just casting a wide net and doing due diligence. ( I hope)

  6. AlekRivard

    This is exactly why I said firing Bud didn’t make sense if Nurse wasn’t waiting for us on a silver platter. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Ugh

  7. WACOBadger

    Surely all of this couldn’t be a smokescreen to obscure who they’re really going after right?

    You guys are dumb. We’re not hiring Scott Brooks.

  8. We fired Bud so a man who looks alarmingly like my dentist can have a shot at the job? Just imagining him walking in like, “Hey you! Those teeth are looking GOOD!”

    (At least interview Prunty if you’re gonna do this shit.)

  9. KingGuy124

    please God don’t hire him, hire kenny atkinson or hell even nick nurse

  10. WindyCity54

    We’ll see what the final decision ends up being but getting input from a variety of veteran coaches on how they view and would run the team isn’t a bad thing in my opinion. They clearly wanted a change from Bud’s style so might as well find out about all the various perspectives before making a decision.

  11. ImStillNotThatGuy

    I knew this FO was gonna do something stupid when they said they were looking at currently-employed coaches instead of Nick Nurse.

  12. No-Refrigerator-7603

    Here’s the problem…who is actually a better candidate than Bud? Nurse? Vogel?

    Change for the sake of change doesn’t always work. I hope I’m wrong.

  13. Either nurse told them no or he’s waiting out the playoffs cause this candidates don’t make sense.

  14. DEUCE_SLUICE

    Eventually, an NBA team is going to hire Becky Hammon and make all the teams that passed on her look like total idiots.

    I really hope that team is the Bucks.

  15. Cwandei137988

    Daily reminder that this team went to shit the moment Jimmy Haslem joined.

  16. burneracct303

    Just give the job to Thanasis already.

  17. stevenomes

    Lol nice. Keep bringing them in. Eventually they’ll have to narrow down the selection. That will be more telling

  18. KinshasaPR

    A someone who’s also followed the Thunder since 08′, he’s got the same deficiencies as far as adjustments go as Bud. Hard pass!

  19. Skeleboi846

    I imagine there’s a long list of people the Bucks are interested in might as well kick the tires on a few people and see how they fare before we make an obvious signing

  20. We’re really going to retread with some mediocre coach huh?

  21. MacDemarcoMurray

    interesting move to interview a coach who was unsuccessful with two franchises then was an assistant on an unsuccessful team

  22. mr_obinson7

    Is this showing us what it’s going to be like once Jimmy Haslem is in control?

  23. petarisawesomeo

    Firing Bud to hire Scott Brooks is not the way

  24. IdleRacey

    Horst should be fired.

    I am all for Hiring JJ Redick. Let him figure it out. He seems to be very sharp and I prefer a coach with lots of common sense. I think Giannis would love working with Redick.

  25. Why are people overreacting to every single name that gets an interview?

    There is going to be 3 more rounds of these. It’s like you guys have never seen or heard of this process.

  26. TetraHydro420

    Why do I feel like getting rid of Bud was a mistake now? All of these potential candidates being thrown around are iffy at best

  27. 1998TimThomas

    Nurse is going to have whatever team he coaches playing like dawgs on defense. And we’re looking at Scott motherfucking Brooks?!?

  28. Wallyworld77

    JJ Reddick recently interviewed for a HC Job. Would anyone want him as our HC in Milwaukee?

  29. chirpz88

    Watched a lot of wizards living near DC. Trust me when i tell you. Scotty Brooks is not a better coach than the one you just parted ways with.

  30. tathariel

    Scott fucking Brooks. I hope this is Woj being petty and lying about Bucks else this is laughable.

  31. Has nobody ever seen a coaching search take place? Literally a bunch of random bums always get mentioned for agent favours to get there guy in the news. You know how Van Gundy is alway mentioned but nobody has hired that nerd in years? Everyone needs to chill and stop overreacting, we’re not hiring Borrego or Brooks lol
