Overview
- Rivers said Friday on the Bill Simmons Podcast that he would be surprised if he coached another game.
- He disclosed a meeting about seven weeks earlier with Bucks ownership where he told them he was done and later told his staff the same.
- The Bucks fired Rivers after a 32-50 season that ended without a playoff berth.
- If this stands as his finish line, Rivers leaves with a 1,194-866 record, a 2008 NBA title with the Celtics, and the 2000 Coach of the Year award with the Magic.
- He pointed to wanting a break and time with family, and he is set for Basketball Hall of Fame induction in August.
