    Terry Porter New Bucks Coach...

    http://espn.go.com/nba/columns/stein_marc/1590459.html

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Milwaukee native Terry Porter, after just one season on an NBA bench, will be named Wednesday as the new coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.

    ESPN.com has learned that Porter beat out Phoenix Suns assistant coach Marc Iavaroni and Atlanta Hawks interim coach Terry Stotts in the race to replace George Karl. The Bucks completed final interviews over the weekend when owner Sen. Herb Kohl returned to Milwaukee in a break from his political duties.

    Porter served as an assistant to Rick Adelman in Sacramento last season after 17 seasons as a player. Despite his inexperience, Porter is considered a good coaching prospect whose odds were undoubtedly boosted by his ties to the area. The Bucks' status as a starting-over team, after a steady dismantling of the group that reached the Eastern Conference finals in 2002, gives Porter time to grow as a head coach</div>

    Not a bad move..but still no job for Rick Carlisle [​IMG]

    Good. That means Iavaroni will stay on the Suns' bench.
