Mike Budenholzer ‘Likely Gone’ Unless Bucks Have Deep Playoff Run

Last year, the Milwaukee Bucks finished the regular season with the league’s best record for a second consecutive year. Unfortunately for the team, they also were eliminated too early for their liking for a second consecutive year, after they were sent fishing by the Miami Heat.

That’s the reason head coach Mike Budenholzer has basically been coaching on probation this year. Giannis re-signed long term and the Bucks are playing a great regular season once again. But if the Bucks won’t make a deep playoff run, Budenholzer is likely out, according to a recent report from the Athletics’s Sam Amick and Shams Charania.
