Skiles new coach of the Bucks

[rAm]

Think he will be able to put the talent there to good use?

I don't see why teams are passing up on Rick Carlisle. I thought he did an awesome job with the Pacers, keeping them a contender in the playoffs even after all the suspensions and what have you. Underrated IMO.

Eh, I'm hot and cold on Skiles.

Hes just a hire to be fired in a couple years.

Would've gone younger and maybe a first time coach, ala Terry Porter who should've never been fired in the first place.

Skiles is a douchebag. He's really hard on his players. I only hope that he doesn't piss off Bogut or Yi really bad with his bad attitude. I wonder if he'll go racist on Yi which would piss Yi off even more. I don't see the Bucks being able to withstand Scott Skiles as coach and could cause even more players to demand a trade.

yea, I don't think hiring skiles was the best they could of done. I think they acted to quick.

And for 4 years? lol

Yeah that was just stupid. He'll be fired within two years and the Bucks will continue to suck. They should have gone after a Reggie Theus type coach. Maybe tried to coax Del Harris out of retirement but then who in the hell wants to live in Mil-ee-wau-kay

Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600's to trade with the native Americans.

In fact, isn't Milwaukee an Indian name?

Yes Pete, it is. Actually it's pronounced "Mileewaukay", which is Algonquin for "the good land".

I think another interesting aspect of Milwaukee is the fact that it's the only major American city to have ever elected three socialist mayors.

... and Skiles to be fired in three years after alienating his players.

Rinse, repeat.

Anybody remember how badass Scott Skiles was on the original NBA Jam? That guy would never miss a 3.

Skiles/Shaq on the original arcade NBA Jam was an unstoppable duo. It was really lame that for the Sega/SNES they couldn't use Shaq so they just gave freakin Nick Anderson all of Shaq's stats instead.

I've known this guy since high school. I know what a douchebag he is. He's gone off on my friend who was Japanese during a basketball game.
