Milwaukee Bucks: An ongoing case of missing identity
By Adam McGee
Q.2 – What do you consider to be the single biggest factor currently holding the Bucks back?
Respondents were offered multiple choices with coaching, roster, offense, defense, attitude/culture, and other (which required expanding upon the answer), all being proposed as potential factors holding Milwaukee back at present.
Unsurprisingly, and perhaps reassuringly, coaching emerged as a comfortable frontrunner with 54 percent of the vote. By the standard of Bucks fans, as evidenced by other answers from this survey, this is an impressively optimistic outcome.
With the Bucks set to undertake a wide-ranging coaching search in the offseason, the sentiment among the majority of the fans polled seems to be that much of Milwaukee’s issues could be rectified with the right coach at the helm.
Outside of that, only offense failed to receive a single vote. Defense, roster and attitude/culture shared a relatively even split of 11 percent, 12 percent and 13 percent respectively.
Other received 10 percent of the vote with the main sentiment shared being that the team’s problems were a combination of all of the above, with a couple of mentions for the influences of ownership and front office too.
