3 NBA coaches who got fired during 2022-23 season

The NBA can be one of the most volatile leagues in the world. With teams wanting to contend for a championship every year, organizations tends to make drastic moves for the betterment of their squads.

These changes include trading players, replacing coaching staff, and even renaming executives. Every person on and off the court plays a significant role in their team's success.

To attain that success, sometimes teams let go of a few pieces to find new ones that could fit the puzzle.

On that note, here are three NBA coaches who were fired this season:

#1 Mike Budenholzer

After a successful five-year stint with the Milwaukee Bucks, Mike Budenholzer was fired by the organization. Budenholzer became the organization's most successful coach and had a record of 271-120 in a span of five seasons.

Budenholzer helped lead Milwaukee to its first championship since 1971, becoming one of two coaches alongside Larry Costello to win an NBA title for the Bucks.

#2 Doc Rivers

Rivers was let go after another disappointing season

Doc Rivers couldn't get past the second round with the Philadelphia 76ers for the third straight year. After a blowout loss against the Boston Celtics, Daryl Morey decided to let him go.

Rivers was 154-82 during the regular season with the 76ers, but his failures to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals have cost him a lot.

#3 Monty Williams

Phoenix Suns v Los Angeles Clippers - Game Four

Monty Williams' firing by the Phoenix Suns came as quite a shock. Williams had truly reshaped the Suns organization, and while he wasn't able to win a title in Phoenix, he transformed the team into a dominant force.

In four seasons, Monty Williams became a two-time Coach of the Year winner, led Phoenix to its first NBA Finals appearance since 1993, and achieved the best record (64-18) in the NBA in the 2021-22 season.
