He's an emotionally stable leader who inspires confidence in players, as revealed when he filled in for Spoelstra as head coach for a stint in March and April. Quinn received his first interview for a head-coach job with Indiana in 2020, while Washington gave him a look in 2021."

    I get considering Chris Quinn, and I'd love the next version of Spoelstra, but an assistant might be a hard sell with the current window for the Bucks.

    Spoelstra also benefited from the mentorship of Riley when he first started. That same type of environment wouldn't be here in Milwaukee.

    There definitely is risk with a first-time head coach. The Bucks need a strong tactician, one that can develop talent and adjust within the course of a game. Quinn has been alongside Spoelstra since 2014, learning the same principles and style that Spoelstra picked up from Riley. The Bucks could also use someone with energy, as it sometimes looked like coach Bud was getting burnt out.

    Not overly excited about any of these three. Nick Nurse.....you might as well have kept Budenholzer. Outside of Kawhi and 2019, he has disappointed with what is considered a talented group of players (Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes, OG Anunoby).

    Positive spin, Nurse just needs another Kawhi which he would get in Giannis (along with a talented roster of championship experience). A bit surprised these are the three finalists (if true). Might be viewed as a 2-year window with this group.

    None of those three names has me excited about next year.
