The Best of The Rest

The Bucks have had a number of other coaches who have impressed throughout their history, but the difference for the most part was that they didn’t really have any longevity.

Terry Stotts, Chris Ford, Terry Porter, Larry Krystkowiak, Frank Hamblen, Jim Boylan and Larry Drew are all examples of coaches who spent no more than two years at the helm of the team. Although some of them may have posted solid records, there wasn’t really a whole lot that wasn’t mediocre about those guys’ teams.

Mike Dunleavy had a more notable spell as a coach as he at least stuck around for four years, but in that time he oversaw one of the franchise’s most underwhelming squads and a record of .326 for that time doesn’t create any real positive history.

The one coach who probably has a genuine case for inclusion is the new head coach of the Orlando Magic Scott Skiles. In his four-and-a-half seasons in Milwaukee, Skiles’ teams were not bad. The problem is they weren’t good either

Only once did Skiles marshall a squad to the post-season, and even then that resulted in a first round exit at the hands of Atlanta. Unluckily for Skiles, the list above is about excellence not mediocrity.

Who’s the greatest of the coaches above though? Who was the smartest coach of the bunch and who means the most to the Milwaukee Bucks?

It’s time to decide.
