The fallout from the Bucks catastrophe begins. Milwaukee’s team fell surprisingly 4-1 versus Miami Heat and the changes begin to arrive. Mike Budenholzer, coach who brought the franchise to the championship in 2021Has been fired.

He has been the architect of success in the last five years, but at the same time the most questioned for decisions that have led to bad results. The first time he doubted his continuity was in the Playoffs of 2020in the bubble of Orlandowhen Milwaukee fell precisely also against Miami.
The inability to Modify the system, of introduce changes in the system when the situation requires it and not having a plan B they have weighed down Budenholzer in recent seasons. The possibility that, with the great staff he has, has not been able to take advantage of all its players, it has grown over time.

The one who was the coach of the hawks and take Atlanta to 1st place East in 2015 and send players like Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver or Paul Millsap to the all star during his time in Georgia, he is left without a position.
He change of coaches in the league it seems that he will take center stage again this summer. The 53-year-old coach will be among the candidates because of his experience and his good results in the last decade. His record with Milwaukee in five seasons is 271 regular season wins and 120 losses.
Jon Horst, general manager of the team, wanted to write a statement on social networks expressing what happened. Budenholzer had become a cornerstone of the project for some Bucks who will now have to find a new coach to Giannis, middleton and company.
Behind their backs, two conference finals (2021, 2019) and a champion ring achieved in 2021 before the phoenix suns.
