Terry Stotts Steps Down as Milwaukee Bucks Assistant Coach

Terry Stotts, a renowned figure in NBA coaching circles, has made a surprising move by stepping down from his role as an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks. This development was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Stotts, who previously served as the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, took up the role with the Bucks after being out of the league for two years. He joined Adrian Griffin's coaching staff, bringing a wealth of experience to support the first-year head coach.

During his impressive nine-season tenure as head coach in Portland, the 65-year-old Stotts amassed a noteworthy record of 402 wins and 318 losses. Under his guidance, the Trail Blazers made eight playoff appearances, with their most notable achievement being a trip to the Western Conference Finals in 2019. Stotts' coaching career extends beyond Portland, having led teams in Milwaukee and Atlanta as well. His overall coaching record stands at 517 wins and 486 losses.

The abrupt nature of Stotts' resignation, occurring less than a week before the commencement of the regular season, has raised questions among basketball enthusiasts. However, as of now, there is no official explanation provided for his decision to step down. It remains to be seen how the Milwaukee Bucks will address this unexpected coaching vacancy and what implications it may have for the team's upcoming season.
