Bucks Dismiss Head Coach Mike Budenholzer After First-Round Upset

The Milwaukee Bucks have parted ways with head coach Mike Budenholzer after five seasons and an NBA title.
Despite finishing with the league's best record, the Bucks blew fourth-quarter leads in Games 4 and 5 to lose their first-round series against the eighth-seeded Miami Heat.
Budenholzer's responsibility for strategic mistakes and Milwaukee's failure to make adjustments were cited as reasons for his firing.
The Bucks now begin a search for a new head coach who can help the team reach its championship potential with back-to-back MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Budenholzer ends his Bucks tenure with a .693 winning percentage, two Coach of the Year awards and an NBA title but only three playoff series wins in five postseasons.
