Milwaukee Bucks part ways with coach Mike Budenholzer after playoff disappointment.

The Milwaukee Bucks have fired coach Mike Budenholzer after a disappointing first-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat. Despite finishing with the best record in the league and earning the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks lost in five games to Miami. The franchise's goal is to win another title with star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, and finding a replacement who is better than Budenholzer leaves general manager Jon Horst with a difficult job.
