There's no such thing as a slow news day for the Milwaukee Bucks, eh?
Team President Peter Feigin, head coach Jason Kidd and general manager John Hammond were all in Madison on Monday, double-dipping an appearance in front of the legislature's Joint Finance Committee in the morning with an afternoon presser at the University of Wisconsin. The former saw Feigin reiterate the case for $250 million in public funding towards a new downtown Milwaukee arena, while the latter featured a formal announcement that the team would hold its first week of training camp and an October 20 exhibition game in Madison -- the team's first trip to Madison since an exhibition game in October 1999.
