The Milwaukee Bucks made a major move on Tuesday.

The Bucks have fired first-year head coach Adrian Griffin. The move was made despite the Bucks beating the Pistons 122-113 on Monday night to improve to 30-13 on the season.

The Bucks are second in the East behind the Boston Celtics and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second-best record in the NBA, as of Tuesday.

The Bucks are naming Joe Prunty their interim head coach.

Griffin had served as an assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors from 2018-2023. He was hired by the Bucks in June and has now been fired 7 months later after a seemingly strong start.

Some fans on X made light of Griffin’s brief tenure as the Bucks’ head coach.

The quick firing of Griffin reminded some of when the Cavaliers fired David Blatt in 2016 despite a 30-11 start.
