Nate McMillan is out. Joe Prunty has been elevated to interim coach of the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks just haven’t made enough progress since reaching the conference finals in 2021. Atlanta lost in the first round of last season’s playoffs and are in danger of falling out of play-in contention. McMillan took over for Lloyd Pierce in 2021 and spurred a deep playoff run. The Hawks hope a coaching change can provide a spark for the remaining games.In December, Travis Schlenk stepped down as president of basketball operations, and GM Landry Fields began overseeing basketball operations.
It makes sense they want to put a stamp on the team by selecting a coach they believe can maximize the roster. Landry and Korver are big on player development and want a coach who is masterful at that part of the job, but they also want a coach who can lead, build culture, hold players, including talented guard Trae Young, accountable and communicate effectively.The Hawks plan to be aggressive with their search, trying to get a head start before any teams in need of a coach start looking after the season.
