Doc Rivers has stepped down as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks following a lackluster performance over his two-plus years with the team. Under Rivers, the Bucks, who once had the NBA's best record three years ago, faced a significant decline, culminating in a disappointing 32-50 record for the 2025-26 season. This marks the first time in a decade that the Bucks will not compete in the postseason, a fact that has left fans largely unfazed by Rivers' resignation. Social media reactions reflect a mix of relief and anticipation for a fresh start, with many fans expressing dissatisfaction over the team's failure to contend for a championship. Rivers' tenure included two first-round playoff exits in 2024 and 2025, leading to widespread criticism of his coaching abilities. As the Bucks look to rebuild, the franchise hopes to regain its competitive edge in the coming seasons.
