The underperforming Atlanta Hawks are making a coaching change.
. Joe Prunty will take over as interim coach, per ESPN.
Former Jazz coach Quin Snyder, Warriors assistant and former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson and Bucks assistant Charles Lee are expected to be targets in the Hawks’ coaching search, ESPN reported.The Hawks are a disappointing 29-30 this season and have not progressed since reaching the Eastern Conference final two years ago.
McMillan, 58, took over as interim coach in March of 2021 after Atlanta fired Lloyd Pierce. The Hawks went 27-11 the rest of that season and went on to beat the Knicks and 76ers in the playoffs before falling to the eventual-champion Bucks in six games. Last year, in McMillan’s first full season as the team’s head coach, the Hawks went 43-39 and lost to the top-seeded Heat in the first round.The Hawks are currently the No. 8 seed in the East, which would put them into the play-in tournament. They’re 3.5 games behind the Knicks for the No. 6 spot and three games up on the Bulls, who are in 11th place.Share this article:
