Happy for him. He finally got a shot.
Hey, awesome news for Adrian! He’s been on the brink of it for years so great to see him get the job on a contender.
Lol they took Nurse’s assistant over him
LETS GO!
“The Bucks are beginning work on financial terms of a contract with Griffin and a deal is expected to be reached soon that’ll make Griffin the franchise’s next head coach, sources said.”
What happened to nurse though?
Griffin won the job then Nurse’s camp tried to leak that Nick was “pulling out”. Shameless
Happy for the guy!! Deserves it
Happy for him! Bucks fans are going to LOVE the stare down contests between him and Bobby.
Also Bucks need to trade for his son ASAP.

Happy for him!
That’s awesome. Is bittersweet but thrilled for him. He had interviewed for so many HC gigs for the last few years and finally landed one and on a first seed contender!
Good for Adrian! Glad to see him get this opportunity with such a good team.
I get the impression that Nurse’s personal (ego) issues are a bigger problem than people think. Bucks taking Griffin over Nurse says something
congrats coach!
Giannis must’ve really liked him.
WHAAAAT???!!!
Damn. Now that the shock is over. Good on him! Surprised the Bucks went for a kind of unproven coach when you have Nurse, Monty, and Kenny availible. He does have long assistant coaching experience though. Hoping it all works out
This is awesome for Adrian!
Once again, Toronto talent is recognized
I can’t help wondering what that interviewing process was like for the Bucks. Did they ask Nurse about Griffin? Did they ask Griffin about Nurse?
Happy for Adrian though! I didn’t feel like he was going to be our selection, and so glad that he’s getting his shot rather than having to end up as an assistant on another staff somewhere.
Bucks fan here, how good is this guy tactically? What’s in strong points/shortcomings that you guys know? Is he good head coaching material (sorta like what Darvin Ham was for us)?
This seems super risky from our side so everyone from our side are j trying to learn what we can. Seems like Giannis wanted him tho, so can’t complain too much even though I did want us to push for Ty Lue
Huh was not expecting this, especially with so many available experienced HCs.
However, I’m happy to see another coach from the franchise line getting the top job.
good luck coach griffin !!!!
Super interesting the Raptors, who I presume had every chance to hire him first, decided he wasn’t their guy.
Shout out to Coach Griffin! All of his hard work paid off and he’s going to coach a contender!
FUUUUUUCCCKKKK
Congrats AG!
Good for him!
Congratulations Adrian!
I am very happy for Griff!!! Man finally getting his big break
What a great opportunity for Griffin as he gets to coach one of the greatest players in the game today. He’s been a really good assistant coach and has been building up to this role. I wish him all the luck in the world.
Why aren’t we giving him a shot at HC?
A part of me thought the Raptors would take a similar path with this coaching search as the last with Nurse’s replacement already being in house.
Kind of glad they didn’t I think the team needs a re-start as much as possible. Get some fresh ideas in there.
That said happy for Griff hope he does well (except against us)
So, are we getting Sergio? Seems like a top pick left for us.
Dude is a HC and his son is BALLING at 19 years old. That’s how you live!!
Congrats to AG! Deserves a shot.
Leave it to this sub to turn this announcement into shitting on Nick Nurse 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats AG! Hope he does well (aside from coaching against the raps).
Happy for Adrian but where does this leave us man…
Those Griffin and Portis staredown contests are going to be epic.
good for him, wish him the best in this new role!
Fantastic news for Adrian. It’s been a longtime coming. Sad news for us.
Good luck AG!
I’m happy for Griffin. I’m also happy for the Raptors. I think we need a new voice and mindset for this Raptors team. I was surprised by reports that the Raptors were supposedly retaining Griffin and that he was the favorite for the HC job. I think this makes Masai really have to evaluate the team more and the direction going forward.
Congrats coach

Godammit, I’m happy he’s getting his flowers but damn I hoped he’d stay.
Not like this…Not like this…
