The Milwaukee Bucks could have taken a very different path after Scott Skiles’ departure, with Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan seriously considered for the head coaching job.
After Scott Skiles resigned as Milwaukee Bucks coach in the middle of the 2012-13 season, and Jim Boylan struggled to make any real impact in an interim capacity, the franchise set out on a coaching search to try to establish the team’s new direction.
That search ultimately led to the hiring of Larry Drew, whose contract had just expired with the Atlanta Hawks and would be replaced by Mike Budenholzer.
