As a coach, it's important to stay in the biz. You're quickly forgotten or considered obsolete.
Normally, yes, but I think there are only 4-5 coaches besides Pop with a championship. Nobody's forgetting Bud in the next two years. I also think if Pop retired and the Spurs offered him the gig, he would take it. It's different forgoing that remaining pay for head coach pay, which would be equivalent.
The guy I want to succeed Pop is Kenny Atkinson because he has demonstrated with his Brooklyn stint that he is good developing a young roster. Thing is, I am hearing he may replace Kerr which is why he did not go to Charlotte when offered.
Borrego?
That's pretty interesting and really changes the perspective...
Borrego proved he's a pretty good coach as well. Charlotte has stunk before and after him at the helm.
I would have assumed that a fired coach is due the remainder of his contract regardless of whether he takes other employment - that is typically how employment contracts work (and in many cases, the remainder of the contract is due at once upon termination, not over the duration of the now-terminated contract). Of course, every contract is (or can be) different. Is there a coaches union with a CBA or are coaches considered to be independent actors who can negotiate whatever contract they are able?
I don't think we can blanket assume anything about how Coach Bud's contract works unless the NBA operates with standard coaching contracts.
I'm good with Borrego
There's some questions about Bud that even preceded Milwaukee. Lack of in game adjustments. Then again he won a le with a team that does have some flaws
Why is SpursFan so myopic on guys that have been here before and not simply the best candidate out there available when the time comes?
Just asking.
Think it has more to do with what we think is going through PATFO’s minds. They’ve been open over the years about how much they like familiarity. Keeping the same players and coaches together, never having a lot of roster turnover, etc. The fact that Bud coached here for 17 years and is like family to them weighs heavily in his favor. It’s no secret he’s one of Pop’s very best friends. He also has a Championship on his résumé now so it’s not like he’s some bum. If he’s interested in the gig, when the time comes, I’d be surprised if he’s not the guy tbh.
Makes sense, but I guess I'm touching on more that Budenholzer. It's like when talking about coaching candidates, only former Spur coaches, or players are mainly brought up.
Bud didn't deserve to get fired. He just won a championship for Pete's sake. Colin Coward, who's another big market rider like Stephen A Smithe, just said recently that Giannis played a role in getting Bud fired. Don't know how true that is but I definitely can see that he could've had something to do with it. Giannis is not as real as the media tries to portray. He wants to go to the Lakers and or team up in a big market for easy chips just like all the bag stars do. He's no different.
Pop wants to destroy sa and coach forever
Colossal fck up by mil. Spurs need to pounce
Bucks had more balls then spurs
It is what have done lately
He almost was fired before they won it all
What has pop done since 2015
Spurs have no balls orherwise they would have hired Becky and fired poop
How many pop coaching trees have now gotten fired
5-6 ?
That doesn't look good for Bud.
Ya i don't have the link in front of me but Greek specifically commented on lack of adjustments and specifically how he would have guarded Jimmy Butler on that gawd awful final possesion of regulation. Butler held Conningtons arm down and got the silly last second ally oop. No way in Butler pulls that chit on Greek.
Here's the general one from Freak:
“I don’t think as a team we made the right [adjustment], or we didn’t make as many adjustments as we could have against [Jimmy Butler]… For me, I think this has been the worst postseason ever.”
Milwaukee Bucks fire head coach Mike Budenholzer (nbcsports.com)
Actually, checking the story, it's from ing 2020! (Shoulda known.)
Apparently it's happened before.
Might explain why Bucks FO said no more Bud.
At :33 you can see Butler obviously holding Baunnertons arm down.

Are you so pathetic only on this forum or irl too?
And I knew about the recent contract signing. I'm just saying that deep down he probably wants to bolt to a big market eventually via a trade request etc. (though I don't know all the details of the contract) and now he's having the Bucks front office walk on eggs s to maybe find that excuse to go to said big market eventually.
I mean how in the are you gonna get your coach fired that you just won a championship with in 2021? How in the is he not "your coach" after all that? Guarantee the Bucks won't win now from here on out, outside some early playoff exits (maybe some conference finals appearances but I predict no more championships) and Giannis could likely use that as an excuse to bolt to Miami, New York, LA, Golden State etc etc.
Pop haters can say what they want about his coaching tree, but his tree has lots of regular and post season success to include championships across more than one league.
