The Frank Vogel experiment will have come to an end… In Phoenix, we have no time to lose, and it is the former coach of the Lakers who paid the price for the fiasco of this season, which ended in a “sweep” face to the Wolves.
To replace him, management chose Mike Budenholzerdouble “Coach Of The Year” with the Hawks then the Bucks, and according to ESPN, the technician will sign on for five years with an eight-figure salary. Which means he'll get at least $10 million a year. It's the same duration as Frank Vogel, but with double the salary.
A child from Arizona
For Mike Budenholzer, NBA champion in 2021 with the Bucks against… the Suns, it is a return to his roots since he is a child of Arizona, and his father was a renowned coach at the “high school” level.
Trained at the Spurs under Gregg Popovich, the former Milwaukee coach will be presented this Saturday, and this weekend, he will leave for Chicago to attend the Draft Combine.
Cut a year ago by the Bucks, Mike Budenholzer was also on the shelves of the Nets, who for their part preferred to bet on Jordi Fernandez. Since the Suns and the Hornets have now found their respective coaches, only the Lakers and the Wizards do not yet have coaches for next season.
