The Bucks have received permission from the Suns to interview assistant Kevin Young for their head coaching job, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
Young has emerged as one of the hottest names for a head coach position. He has been mentioned as a candidate for the Raptors’ job, as well as the Suns’ potential replacement for Monty Williams, who was let go last week.
The Bucks are also reportedly interested in Young’s former boss, Williams, in their search to replace Mike Budenholzer. Additionally, they’ve received permission to interview Heat assistant Chris Quinn and plan to interview ABC/ESPN analyst and former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson. Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin is also on that list, and they’ve also been granted permission to interview Trail Blazers assistant Scott Brooks.
Young coached multiple G League teams and was an assistant coach with the Sixers before joining Williams’ staff in Phoenix in 2020.

Third, if the Suns don’t want him, he’s obviously trash
About half the current NBA Coaches are ex-players, and more than half the Assistant Coaches are.
In that mix of best coaches include ex-NBA players like Ty Lue, Steve Kerr, and rookie coach/WCF finals bound Darvon Ham.
