Worst Bucks coach in recent history

[VooDoo7]

I think Kidd has at least had his players in his corner for periods of time during his tenure. Larry Krystkowiak never did, so it's him.

Kidd had/has his players respect because of who he is. His name. Not because of the coaching job he does.

I love how the players have squashed the "young" excuse after that last 2 loses. Totally crapping on Kidd's comments.

As bad as Larry drew was, he likely saved our franchise. If the reporting is correct, he was the one who alerted the bucks about Giannis and pushed for us to draft him after coming from Atlanta. Ferry was already scouting him. Then he executed a marvelous tank to get us the 2nd overall pick and Jabari the next off-season, setting up the sale of the team and eventually the new arena.

We should build that man a statue. A true Milwaukee hero.

Didn't Larry K throw Redd under the bus on his way out too? Guy was awful.

[Diggr14]

Toss up between Kidd/Drew.


I’d much rather have Larry back then those jokers.

[ampd]

It's Larry K by a mile

[HKPackFan]

I want to vote George Karl, because what he did to the franchise and Ray Allen was unforgivable, **** YOU KARL!

I want to vote for Larry K because he was not an NBA coach, but I was too casual a fan to even remember much, I was very very angry at the team around that time.

I voted for Larry Drew because he was **** pathetic clueless idiot mother ****. He accidentally coached that team to the lottery. He tanked harder than any NBA team, On ACCIDENT.

I also want to vote for Kidd because he has the most talent we've had in a couple decades or more and he is too **** stupid to take advantage of it. We are 8th seed chasing **** treadmill with an MVP level player. It's not even imaginable we could be this bad after 4 years in a system that's garbage and it's energy, effort, too young, and too much expectations. Are you **** serious!? **** defense, no offense, horrible rotations, no adjustments, and AFTER FOUR YEARS his schemes are a failure.

He doesn't even run the schemes he has guys do it and his rotations are lottery like joking or not that's actually the best description of them. I sometimes think of the HR guys from office space asking........"so what would you say..... You do here?"

Because he doesn't scheme, there's like 1 or 2 plays in his entire playnapkin, he has lottery monkey dart board rotations, and in terms of development, besides Giannis who was destined for greatness, who's he developed, we have a **** load of useless first round picks!? His team is too young but it's average age, his expectations are too high but 8th **** seed is where we belong with an MVP caliber star!?!?

**** off Jason Kidd!!! #firekidd

Redd and Mo rebelled against Larry K about a month into the season, thats why we barely won any games. But then it's probably fair to point the finger at a coach who can lose the team that fast.

Yes, that absolutely is relevant. I can't believe it even took them that long.

Which is fair, but I think huge part of coaching is having your players respect. I'd go so far as to say it's the single most important thing. You can be the best X's and O's guy in the world, but if you can't get guys to buy in, that skill is absolutely useless. You NEED to get guys to buy in, and you need to manage your player personalities to keep them together when the going gets tough. Whether that respect is warranted or not is an entirely different issue.

As much as I despise Kidd at this point, the two Larry's (Drew and K) are in a class of their own and I don't think anyone else is even in the conversation.

Dunleavy was awwwwful. Players were telling him to f@%$ off in practice towards the end.

Recency Bias ftw. #firekidd

[Perishable517]

There are some pretty bad coaches on that list. Larry K., yes, he was bad but he didn't have all that much time and the team was pretty awful. He did make Bogut into an offensive piece, tho. Larry Drew was awful.

I voted Chris Ford as the Bucks had some nice pieces but he had no control over the team and, well dangit, he needs to be remembered as a crap coach. Did he even coach in the NBA after that?

I suppose it depends on which qualities mean more in defining how crappy one is as a head coach. For pure unlike ability and toxicity in the locker room? Guys like Dunleavy and Skiles had thoroughly worn out their players by the end of their tenures, but Larry K. did so pretty much the second he picked up the clipboard. For pure coaching incompetence? It's really hard for me to pick against Larry Drew.

Terry Porter doesn't deserve to be on this list at all.

[MikeIsGood]

Larry K didn't have a lot of time because he was that terrible. He had a four year contract and we fired him after one horrible season. His team was pretty awful on his own accord - they absolutely should have been in the playoffs. No, they did not have a Giannis, but 26 wins was truly pathetic.

I really do not think that this should be even close. Larry K wins this sad poll by a mile. I will not fault anyone for voting for Kidd, though - do anything we can to get his ass fired.

Yeah, the Dunleavy era has to get some consideration b/c the franchise went sour starting there. I was in elementary school so I'm not as versed as what went on behind the scenes, but this was an ugly period. Only good was they started getting some younger assets in Baker, Big Dog, Ray Allen. But they bungled some drafts too in 1992 (Day, Mayberry), 1995 (Respert). And maybe this is where Kohl got ultra-involved.

[crkone]

Larry K was basically Kidd who couldn't even get his players to run a scheme or respect him from the get go.

[keepsilence]

I voted for Larry K. The knock on him w/Utah thusfar calling him John Hammond is really misleading though. He had to rebuild from scratch his first 2 years and has made either the NCAA tournament or NIT the last 4 years. He is a collegiate improvement over Jim Boylen. In the pros he was easily worse than Jim Boylan and perhaps what an interim Jim Boylen would have been. Thinking of what he was like a decade back in the gym gets my blood boilin'.

[sidney lanier]

Larry Drew in a landslide.

[thomchatt3rton]

I didn't live in WI at the time so maybe I just don't know any better, but I feel like those 3 votes for Dunleavy are personal.

Wow! I didn't even know about his involvement with Giannis. His execution of the tank that year was excellent.
