Former Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts has stepped down from his new position as a Milwaukee Bucks assistant under rookie Head Coach Adrian Griffin. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweeted the news today:
Terry Stotts has stepped down as an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks, sources tell ESPN. Stotts returned to coaching after two years away to join Adrian Griffin’s new staff but has decided that he won’t continue in that role.
Wojnarowski did not indicate any reasoning for the move, but we can surmise that the Bucks acquiring long-time Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard in a huge off-season trade may have something to do with the decision.
