More on Chris Quinn:

"Ask Heat insiders who most embodies the team's culture, and Quinn is commonly the answer (one league source affectionately referred to Quinn as Spoelstra's 'mini-me' for his temperament and organizational skills). 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.
