Scott Skiles Will Return as Bucks Coach

With the addition of Monta Ellis, the Bucks backcourt should be exciting once he and Brandon Jennings have had a chance to gel. Scott Skiles will see to it.

Skiles confirmed Tuesday that he would return for his fifth season as coach with the franchise. And it was clear he believes he has unfinished business after the Bucks faded to a 3-7 record in the last three weeks of the season, hardly good enough to catch the surging New York Knicks or the fading Philadelphia 76ers for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. The lockout-shortened season became just the latest non-playoff year for the franchise, its fifth in the last six seasons and third in four years under Skiles. Skiles confirmed in a phone call that he would return to the Bucks and said he wanted to ‘hit the ground running’ this summer to prepare for next season.
