I saw Sasa Obradovic both as player and coach in Cologne, Germany and he was very successful in both position until the basketball club went bankcrupt. I think he would be a very good fit.You live with the Freak you die with the Freak!!!

To be honest, I have never been happier than now during Djordjevic's stint. He is finally gone and I don't have to think about his reign and how he ruined two 3 perfect opportunities for a gold medal, we have been waiting for since 2002. 2015, 2017, 2019 are all wasted chances, when the core has been in prime with Teodosic and Bjelica.
If Sasa Obradovic ends up coaching, it will be a grinding team with half-court offense, which could suit as well with Bogdanovic and Jokic. I certainly hope that noone plays with the notion of Milojevic as a coach, that would be a disaster. Dude is a positional coach, working as a HC for a talent-farm team without any imperative for results. The worse option would probably be Dzikic. That would totally suck.

I would tend to go with Kokoshkov, he is young, a lot of energy and he can manage those types of egos. BUT, my shadow favorite would be if Bodiroga decides to give it a go at coaching. I like his demeanor, I like his mental approach.

P.S. Bogdan and Bjelica should be under the Bucks radar!

Hopefully Djordjevic's successor saw this WC and understood what not to do.
When you have one of the best players in the World, you run your offense through him. Common sense.
I believe Serbia could have a run of 10+ years of success, like Spain has just completed.
Jokic is 24. For comparison, Gasol was 26 when they won their first gold medal.
Current squad is a bit old, but they also have Bogi (27, their Navarro), Milutinov (25), Micic (25) and Guduric (24).
And you just know that more talent will come. Serbia is the best basketball school in Europe.Bronze Medal - IBN 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup Prediction Game

Recently Spain has ridden the Gasol wave, but his successor is yet to be found. Lets see if this youth successes can bring with it the next generational talent (Garuba?).
Spain has definitely all the tools to stay at the top of European basketball. Strong league, top teams play at the highest level in Europe and they seem to have the infrastructures. Basically, Spain has money and interest in basketball has grown in the last couple of years. Still a football-dominated country.
While Serbia keeps on producing an impressive number of talented players with limited resources. In recent years, they are on pair or even better than Spain in that regard (talking about NBA and Euroleague-level talent).
Historically there is not even a debate.
