Griffin takes over from Mike Budenholzer of Holbrook, Arizona. Budenholzer was fired on May 4 even though the Bucks had the best record in the NBA this season at 58 wins and 24 losses. Despite the regular season success, the Bucks did not have success in the 2023 playoffs. They lost in five games to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
