Upheaval at the Bucks: Incident with the coach led to the resignation of assistant Stotts

Up and down became the Bucks a few days before the season starts in NBA. The news of his resignation Terry Stotts from the position of assistant coach, she surprised everyone and it turned out that she was not so… innocent. According to American Media, there was preceded by an episode with the team’s new coach, Adrian Griffin.

Shortly after the team’s last practice, the new head coach of Milwaukee gathered his players in the center and informed his partners that they would also gather shortly after. But when it came time for the technical team, Stotz left with the players and did not stay with the rest of the partners in the coaching team. Griffin invited Stotts over to them, he asked to have some time with the players and then the first coach shouted at him in front of the whole team!

This incident was not isolated, as – according to reports –their cooperation was not very smooth and there were several difficultiesalthough he had only been hired on June 28.

Adrian Griffin speaking to the press did not shed light on the case. “You should ask Terry why he quit. He took us all by surprise, but we support his every decision. He is a great person and a great coach, I learned a lot from him, I enjoyed working with him and I wish him the best,” said Mike Budenholzer’s successor on the Bucks bench.

This particular development is certainly unpleasant for him as well Damian Lillard. The great acquisition of the Bucks had worked for nine years with Stotts in the Blazers and it was certainly one of the reasons that he also wanted to go to Milwaukee and join forces with Giannis Antetokounmpo. “We already talked. We’ve spent so much time together in the league after all. Even in the two years that he was off the shelves we had frequent communicationDame simply said, without revealing what was said between them.
