For whatever reason, it always seems as if the Milwaukee Bucks are one of the more overlooked franchises in the NBA. Despite making the playoffs and having a respectable record most year, they always seem to fly under the radar. In fact, they have one of the more exciting backcourts, with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, and are just a few frontcourt players away from being very good.
Yesterday, they fired interim head coach Jim Boylan as expected and have immediately started their search. Rather than going after Phil Jackson like every other team with a vacancy, they are reportedly targeting Stan Van Gundy. That actually wouldn’t be a bad fit.
Stan Van Gundy has long been a favorite of Bucks GM John Hammond, who is looking for a defensive-minded coach who will be able to “control the locker room,” one source said.
