My money’s definitely on Coach Bud being Pop’s successor. Good friend of Pop’s and spent 17 years as an Assistant here so the organization is very familiar with him and likely comfortable handing him the reigns imo.
possible reunion?

Coach Pop’s predecessor was Bob Hill.
Damn didn’t even give me a chance to correct it lol. But yes, FI.
honestly, i could most definitely see him coming here.
Feels like a good time to take a year off from coaching or maybe flitting around as Pop's assistant. He may want the distraction, but he showed his head wasn't in it during that loss. Give it sime time, IMO. Don't know that I'd want him coaching the Spurs at this point though. Feels like a job for a younger couch
dude lost his brother during the series
giannis was injured
the bucks were ripe for the taking
it happened to the spurs in 2011
manu injured last game of season
memphis took advantage
His brother died of injuries from a car crash between the elimination game and the previous game.
I think it's unfair to fire him given that they had the best record during the regular season and an unfortunate injury and a major off the court distraction were likely the reason for their poor showing in the first round. But overall, I think it was time for both to part ways. The Bucks are in for a painful summer anyway as they look to be compe ive while considering giving big contracts to players on the wrong side of 30.
... Did you think I didn't know that? I was like the first person to comment on that thread.
Nick Nurse seems like the obvious replacement. But they might promote from within Assistant Coach Charles Lee a shot, in which case Nick Nurse is still the hottest name on the market.
Raptors fans will finally get their wish of wanting to see Giannis being coached by Nurse.
Come back to San Antonio, Bud.
Damn I read Cham tweet last night but thought it was fake. Well that’s dumb and Spurs gain.
Don't know where his head is, but he's spurs family. there always will be a place for him here, and he could indeed be Pop's successor.
He has his flaws, but I don't think Nurse will do much better with current Bucks core.
Bud is a good coach, but ultimately his lack of adjustments cost him. Not just in this series, although Spo running circles around him certainly didn't help.
I think he takes a year off and comes back when Pop is done. By far the best option for young Spurs.
Bucks: "Sucks about your brother. Get the out of here."
This is a dumb move for the Bucks. Just a ty thing to do on top of it.
makes no sense to fire him tbh. He won them a chip, had them as the 1st seed. He clearly did well over there. He definitely got outcoached in that series, but due to him losing his brother and Giannis being injured he should deserve a pass.
Firing him just a week after his brother died is pretty cold. But they gotta do whatever they gotta do to make Giannis happy so he doesn’t bail on them next Summer, leaving them to become a poverty franchise once again. I assume he had some say in this.
Surprising considering they've stayed at the top of the East the last 3 seasons. I guess it's Finals or bust for those guys. Their success sits squarely on Giannis, and good teams can coach to defend him in the playoffs. Similar to David's plight here before Tim's arrival, although Giannis probably has a better supporting cast than David ever did, pre-Tim, minus his rookie campaign.
I don't see another coach doing better unless they lure another superstar to Milwaukee.
If he's on the market whenever Pop retires I'd love to see the Spurs bring Bud back. I still can't believe he was able to get that Atlanta team to 60 wins.
WTF??? Why ?
with paul millsap leading scorer lmao
