“The Bucks will be in the market for a new head coach as a summer of change likely begins.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results suggest that coaching changes are being discussed or that candidates are emerging (e.g., Taylor Jenkins being named a target, or Joe Prunty taking over as interim coach). However, none of the provided evidence confirms a definitive, widespread expectation or plan for the Bucks to search for a new head coach over the summer from multiple independent sources. The evidence points to immediate coaching changes or speculation, but not a confirmed 'summer of change' plan.

The evidence is insufficient to corroborate this specific report.

SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provides a Wikipedia entry stating that in the 2023–24 season, Mike Budenholzer was fired, and another entry mentions Doc Rivers was the most recent head coach.
