After the dismissal of Frank Vogel and the departure of his right-hand man Kevin Young, management had in fact announced that no assistant would be retained, and Mike Budenholzer must therefore compose his entire staff.
Days after signing a five-year, $50 million contract, the two-time “Coach Of The Year” began, according to The Arizona Republicby going to get Vince Legarza, and it probably wasn't very difficult.

Finally, in 2022, he finds the double coach of the year (2015, 2019) in Milwaukee. But it only lasted one season since Mike Budenholzer was fired after the playoffs, replaced by Adrian Griffin, and Vince Legarza had not been retained by the new coach, himself removed during the exercise to be replaced by Doc Rivers.
