Have a look at the top favourite probable next new head coach of the Atlanta Hawks and the odds
After a terrible 29-30 start to the season, the Atlanta Hawks opted to replace head coach Nate McMillan on Tuesday after almost two years in charge.
There are already odds out for who might win the full-time position, even though assistant Joe Prunty has temporarily taken over on an interim basis.
Quin Snyder, Charles Lee, and Kenny Atkinson are the front-runners to become the Hawks’ new head coach according to SportsBetting.ag.

Snyder is a logical choice. He performed admirably for the Utah Jazz throughout eight seasons, taking the team to the playoffs six times.
While Charles Lee is currently the Milwaukee Bucks’ assistant, it’s interesting to note that, from 2014 to 2018, he served as the Hawks’ assistant coach.
He wasn’t around for the Trae Young era, but there is some familiarity.
Kenny Atkinson is another name with head coaching experience; he was the Brooklyn Nets’ main man from 2016 to 20.
He helped Golden State win a championship the previous season and is currently an assistant on Steve Kerr’s staff there.
During the offseason, Atkinson was initially expected to accept the vacant position of head coach in Charlotte, but he ultimately chose to remain with the Warriors. Having said that, he is more than qualified to serve as a head coach once more.
Sam Cassell, Frank Vogel, Jeff Van Gundy, and Stan Van Gundy are a few further names who stick out on the list. Yet, the latter two no longer coach and hold lucrative broadcasting positions.
It goes without saying that the Hawks have plenty of choices and it is to be seen who among the deserving ones take the place of the new head coach for the Atlanta Hawks.
Here is a list of the top ten probable names who can become the next head coach of the Atlanta Hawks replacing Nate McMillan:
- Quin Snyder (+200)
- Charles Lee (+300)
- Kenny Atkinson (+350)
- Jordi Fernandez (+700)
- Mitch Johnson (+800)
- Miles Simon (+850)
- Sam Cassell (+1000)
- Frank Vogel (+1200)
- Jeff Van Gundy (+2000)
- Stan Van Gundy (+2500)
