 Podcast: Scott Skiles introduced as Bucks head coach |

The Bucks have selected Scott Skiles as their new head coach.
Terms of Skiles' deal were not immediately disclosed.
Skiles, 44, coached the Chicago Bulls for four-plus seasons before the team fired him last Christmas Eve. The Bulls were 9-16 at the time, but Skiles guided them to three consecutive winning seasons before that.
Skiles, who also coached in Phoenix, has a 281-251 record as an NBA coach and has guided five teams to the playoffs.
A schoolboy standout in Plymouth, Ind., Skiles starred at Michigan State and was drafted by the Bucks in the first round in 1986. He played in 13 games in a rookie season marred by a neck injury, but revived his career and spent close to 10 seasons in the league as a point guard.
Skiles is regarded as a no-nonsense coach who is blunt in his evaluations of players. That caused some problems for him in Chicago, where he clashed with forward Ben Wallace.

Skiles is a good pick. I would have liked Rick Carlisle a bit more, but compared to the Bucks last 3 coaches, I'll take it. I say the Bucks should sign Bogut to an extension and then trade he and Bobby Simmons for ANYONE they can get. Despite popular opinion, the Bucks cannot win with Bogut.

Skiles got "fired," only because he agreed to say he got fired. He wanted out of Chicago. He'll bust heads and get Milwaukee back into the Playoffs and beyond. Welcome back to Miltown, Scotty.

good choice ! When asked by a reporter in 2003 to describe what Eddy Curry could do to improve his rebounding, Coach Skiles responded: "Jump."
