NBA Bucks' Poor Performance: Doc Rivers Reportedly Resigning as Head Coach

According to AFP, the Bucks finished the season today with a record of 32 wins and 50 losses, after which the 64-year-old Rivers also briefly hinted at his intentions. When asked about his future with the team at the post-game press conference, Rivers stated: "I can tell you that our (and the team's) views are aligned. We have already discussed it and hope to announce it to the public as soon as possible." "I just hope they make a decision as soon as possible, which would be better, but I think you probably guessed it." AFP reporters requested comments from the Bucks but have not yet received a reply. However, according to sports channel ESPN, although Rivers will no longer serve as coach, he may transition to a team advisor role. Rivers himself had hinted earlier this month that he was considering retirement; when asked about the future of his coaching career, he mentioned that he greatly missed the time spent with his grandchildren. Rivers' illustrious resume includes leading the Boston Celtics to the NBA championship in 2008. (Editor: Cheng Shih-yun) 1150413
