Milwaukee Bucks have fired HC Adrian Griffin, sides working on a deal to make Glenn “Doc” Rivers their next Head Coach.

it's hard to judge when we don't know what happened behind the scenes. But I hate black men getting fired over some BS. A black coach can't possibly be the coach of a championship team right? I mean at least let Griff coach a full season. Who knows? Maybe the team would have gotten closer during the playoffs. I hate this because Griff may never get another job again. You see what happened to Brian Shaw. He messed up in Denver and never got a HC gig again.

This is my thing too, you give him more time to figure it out. Find out where you are at season's end, it's dumb to me when teams bring you on then can you midseason. Give him time man, their defense was not good but the playoffs don't start tomorrow either. Teams need time to gel under a new coach, I feel for Griff.

I believe their struggles against the Pacers didn’t help his case at all. Pacers beat them 4-1(plus tournament game) this season.

And the Pacers just got better with Siakam

they're 0-2 since getting siakam

Don't care what the situation is, firing a coach with a 69% win rate half through the year is crazy
Replacing him with Doc Rivers is even wilder

I mentioned last night how wild it was they allowed Detroit to be competitive in multiple games. Wasn’t expecting this

Expect to have a top defense with Dame brehs. He’s the common denominator

Phil Jackson makes sense

Jon Horst already got a deal?

For as much as we slander Glenn as a head coach, the reason he gets hired is because he runs competent NBA teams........the Bucks were not competent at all. He would be a major upgrade over AG even if he falls short in the area of in-game adjustments.

Never heard anybody refer to Doc by Glenn.

This coach carousel is out of hand. I been saying this.

Good luck Milwaukee

Doc Riverz always finds himself in a good job lol.

Doc was being groomed

League sources say Doc Rivers, who signed on as an ESPN analyst after getting fired by Philadelphia in May, began to serve as an informal consultant to Griffin at the behest of the Bucks. One month later, multiple sources briefed on the matter now indicate that Rivers is the serious leader for the now-vacant position and the preferred choice of key stakeholders.
