Bucks assistant general manager Dan Kohl, the nephew of Sen. Herb Kohl, the team's owner, is leaving the team after 13 years to "pursue interests outside of sports."
"Ive been fortunate to work for an outstanding organization and with a dedicated group of people," Kohl said in a statement issued by the team. "While Ive enjoyed my time with the Bucks immensely, Im excited by the challenge of a career outside of basketball."
Bucks general manager Larry Harris said "I'm grateful to Dan for everything he gave to the Bucks organization. I respect his decision to pursue other interests and wish him well."
Kohl joined the organization in 1992 as the team's salary cap specialist and a college scout. In 1998, he was named assistant director of player personnel -- a position he held for two seasons before moving to director of player personnel in 2000.
