Bucks Fire Head Coach Adrian Griffin Despite Strong Season Start

Assistant Coach Joe Prunty to Step in as Interim, Doc Rivers Rumored for Permanent Position

The Milwaukee Bucks have fired head coach Adrian Griffin despite having one of the league's top records this season.
Despite a strong 30-13 start, concerns were raised about the team's defensive performance under Griffin's leadership.
Assistant coach Joe Prunty is expected to take over as interim head coach, with veteran coach Doc Rivers rumored to be a top candidate for the permanent position.
Griffin's firing comes less than a year after he replaced Mike Budenholzer, who was let go after a surprise early exit in the previous year's NBA Playoffs.
The Bucks' roster includes stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, who were expected to benefit from Griffin's coaching.
