Milwaukee Bucks Set To Interview Former Warriors Coach For Head Coaching Role

The Milwaukee Bucks, despite having arguably the best player in the NBA were bundled out of the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs by the Miami Heat in 5 games, and despite his success in recent years, even helping bring this team their first title in over 50 years, the team decided to part ways with veteran coach Mike Budenholzer. 

Now, with Giannis Antetokounmpo's time potentially coming to an end with the team, it appears they need to work fast to maximize the time they have with him, and now it has been confirmed that they're looking at plenty of people for the role, and will now interview current analyst and former Golden State Warriors Coach Mark Jackson.

Jackson last coached with the team back in 2014, after which he was fired in favour of Steve Kerr, and has spent the years in between as an NBA analyst, despite reported interest from several teams over the years, it appears that he may get another chance as a coach once more.
