While waiting for Game 7 here is a good read from Fox Sports regarding the changes in head coaches.
https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/2023-nba-coaching-tracker-news-rumors-interviews-personnel-changesThe Rockets agreed to terms with former Celtics coach Ime Udoka to make him their next head coach. Udoka coached the Celtics for one season before he was suspended by the team for the 2022-23 season after an investigation found he broke multiple team policies. Udoka replaces Stephen Silas, whose option for the 2023-24 season was declined by the team.
Ime Udoka, hmm, I am glad he can still find a job in the NBA after the issue against him.
Well, let's see what he can do for the young Rockets team. They are one of the blooming teams in the NBA and the Orlando Magic, I wish he could make some changes that would maximize the speed and aggressiveness of these young players. Jabari Smith Jr. is also looking pretty good, especially in the last games of the season, they just need to make him absorb more confidence to be an effective player.
The Bucks agreed to terms with Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin to make him the team's next head coach, ESPN reported on May 27. Griffin, who played in the NBA for nine seasons, began his coaching career with the Bucks in 2008. He's been an assistant coach for four other teams since then and was with the Raptors since 2018. His son, Adrian Griffin Jr., was drafted by the Hawks in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft. Griffin replaced Mike Budenholzer, who was the Bucks' head coach for five seasons and helped them win a title in 2021 before he was fired earlier in May.
