MILWAUKEE — Bucks general manager Jon Horst dismissed the idea that input from players is what led him to fire coach Adrian Griffin on Tuesday after just 43 games.
Horst outlined his decision to fire Griffin at a news conference before Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, saying he wanted to improve the group at a coaching level in order to maximize the team's championship window this season.
But he denied speculation that Griffin had lost the confidence of his players. «This is not about players comments,» Horst said on Wednesday. «This is not about things said or unsaid.
This is my job. This is the organization's job at the top to evaluate every single day all areas of the organization and feel like whether we're getting or not getting the most we can out of that group.
