McMillan's coaching journey continued as he took the helm of the Portland Trail Blazers from two thousand five to two thousand twelve, and later the Indiana Pacers from two thousand sixteen to two thousand twenty. In twenty twenty-one, he served as an assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks, before being promoted to head coach, a position he held until twenty twenty-three.
