When the Milwaukee Bucks elected to fire head coach Adrian Griffin despite having a 30-13 record at the time, everyone in the NBA world questioned the move, including Doc Rivers, the man the Bucks tapped to take over his position.
Rivers didn't just scratch his head and move on, his situation is far different, he actually questioned Bucks' ownership about why they were moving on from Griffin and hiring him.
He also admitted to being hesitant about taking the job offer. "I told our owners when they called, I said, ‘I don’t understand why you’re doing this,'" Rivers explained, referring to the firing of Griffin. "One of the things they said was, ‘Well, it doesn’t matter.
We’ve done it now and we want you.’ So, that was a tough one. That’s where you have the hesitation." The last thing an employer wants is to have a person in a leadership role to be hesitant about their situation, so Rivers admitting as much before even accepting the job is an enormous red flag.
