The Milwaukee Bucks have a new head coach. According to the USA Today, head coach Scott Skiles and the team have decided to go their separate ways.
Bucks assistant coach Jim Boylan will take over the team on an interim basis.
“Scott and I met yesterday after practice and after some honest discussion, we both concluded that it was best to part ways,” Bucks GM John Hammond said. “It is never an easy decision to make, but in the end, a decision we felt was best for both parties. I want to thank Scott for his hard work, dedication, and the imprint he leaves on our team and our entire organization. We all wish him and his family well.”

Skiles was in the final year of his contract with the team. It was reported on NBA.com that the Bucks were not expected to retain him past this season before this move was made.
“John and I met and mutually agreed that a coaching change would be in the best interest of both parties,” Skiles said. “The Senator, the people of Wisconsin, and especially those in the Bucks organization have been very kind to me, my wife, and my family. I am truly grateful for our time here. We are leaving with many fond memories.”
The team was .500 this season, as they stand 16-16 on the year. However, the team has lost four straight games.
