Head coaches Bucks should avoid: Steve Nash

Nash hasn’t been reported to be connected with the Bucks’ head coaching gig, but appears on sports books as one of the favorites. I’m not going to lie; that scares me.

Nash jumped the coaching line and landed the Brooklyn Nets head coaching job in 2021 despite no prior coaching experience (to be fair, he did have a long and illustrious playing career, but coaching is a different beast).

He did lead a loaded team to the playoffs in his first two years, but didn’t last long in his third. He looked like an inexperienced coach and hasn’t inspired confidence it would be better the second time around.
