The list of candidates is growing in Milwaukee to replace Mike Budenholzer, fired after the elimination of the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. We already know that the franchise has approached Scott Brooks, Adrian Griffin or even Mark Jackson, and ESPN now adds an additional name: that of chris quinn (39 years old).
The Bucks have indeed received permission to meet theassistant to Erik Spoelstra in Miami since the 2014/2015 season.
Former player, notably of the Heat, between 2007 and 2013, with a modest career (3.5 points on average), Chris Quinn returns quite often to the coaches targeted by the franchises when a position becomes available.
The proof, very recently, it was mentioned in Detroit, before the Pistons finally reduced their search to three finalists (Charles Lee, Kevin Ollie and Jarron Collins), or even on the side of Toronto, among the very long first list of coaches in the sights of the Canadian franchise to succeed Nick Nurse.
Nevertheless, chris quinn is clearly not the favorite for the position in Milwaukee since Monty Williams, fired by the Suns a few days ago, is now the priority of the leaders of the Bucks, but also of those of the Raptors.
The Milwaukee Bucks received permission to interview Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn for the franchise’s coaching job, sources tell ESPN. Quinn has emerged on Erik Spoelstra’s staff as a candidate for several recent openings.
