As Milwaukee Bucks fans continue to get acclimated to Mike Budenholzer as their team’s new head coach, the past week or so has offered a great opportunity to get to know him, and his basketball philosophies, a little better.

That interview came with the NBA’s leading news-breaker Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, on a recent episode of his podcast, The Woj Pod.
