Scott Skiles replaced as Bucks coach

Scott Skiles has been released as the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Skiles has been the coach of the NBA club since 2008 and has a record in Milwaukee of 162-182, including 16-16 this season. According to reports, Skiles has told the Bucks earlier that this was going to be his last season with the team as it was the last year of his contract, but with the .500 record and having lost four games in a row, the coach and management got together and decided that it was best for the team if they made a move sooner rather than later. Jim Boylan, long-time Bucks assistant coach, has been named as the interim head coach.
