Report: Terry Stotts steps down as lead assistant coach

When Adrian Griffin was hired to be the Bucks’ next head coach this past summer, there was some excitement about him bringing on former Bucks and Blazers head coach Terry Stotts as his top lieutenant on the bench. Beyond the neat story of his return to Milwaukee—he was an assistant under George Karl from 1998–2002 before getting his first head coaching job in Atlanta, then taking over in Milwaukee in 2005 until being fired in 2007—and his longtime reputation for offensive prowess, Damian Lillard’s acquisition meant the two were reunited after nine years together in Portland. That seemed to make it an even better fit for the franchise.
