The Milwaukee Bucks have relieved Terry Stotts of his coaching duties.
“Terry has done the best he could in a difficult situation, especially with all of our injuries,” said [GM Larry] Harris. “I felt it was in the best interest of our organization to make the decision now and move forward, rather than wait until the end of the regular season. I want to thank Terry for his hard work and dedication to our team, and wish him well.”
The Stotts hire felt like a desperation move after Flip Saunders shunned the Bucks, instead deciding to take the Detroit job. Milwaukee has a good young nucleus in Michael Redd, Mo Williams, Andrew Bogut and Charlie Villanueva. None of those guys are very defensive minded, however, and the Bucks have struggled on that end of the court, yielding a 5th-worst 103.3 points per game.
This group needs direction from someone they’ll listen to.
Larry Brown, care to take this job on?
