Bucks Meet With Taylor Jenkins in Head-Coach Search

Ownership’s personal pitch underscores urgency in a search shaped by uncertainty around Giannis.

Overview

The Bucks’ owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam and GM Jon Horst met Taylor Jenkins in Memphis early last week to discuss the vacancy.
The conversation focused on Milwaukee’s long‑term vision for the roster and staff, with no contract terms discussed.
Both sides plan to meet again to continue talks about the job.
Jenkins went 250–214 with four playoff trips in six seasons with the Grizzlies after a prior stint as a Bucks assistant.
Jenkins is viewed as a top candidate on a competitive market, and questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future could shape the timing and appeal of the hire.
