Terry Stotts was not successful during his tenure as Bucks head coach and on Wednesday he paid the ultimate price by being fired by general manager Larry Harris.
Stotts had lead Milwaukee to a 23-41 record, second worst in the Eastern Conference and dead last in the Central division. He was not aided by the fact that his best player Michael Redd was out for an extended period of time, as was Maurice Williams, Charlie Villanueva, Earl Boykins. Bobby Simmons and Dan Gadzuric. After being the eighth seed in last year's playoffs there were high expectations for the Bucks.
Assistant coach Larry Krystkowiak agreed to a multi-year deal and will become the next head coach for Milwaukee. The former Montana head coach will get his first taste as an NBA head coach tonight against the Spurs.
The best thing going for the Bucks right now is that they will receive an early pick in this June's NBA draft.
