Little has gone right for Stotts this season
|
The Milwaukee Bucks have fired coach Terry Stotts with 18 games of the regular season remaining, replacing him with assistant Larry Krystkowiak.
The loss of several key players to injuries, has left the Bucks (23-41) in
last place in the Central Division.
They are six-and-a-half games behind
the New York Knicks for the Eastern Conference's final play-off spot.
"Terry has done the best he could in a difficult situation," said Bucks general manager Larry Harris.
"But I felt it was in the best interest of our organisation to make the decision now, rather than wait until the end of the season."
In less than two seasons in Milwaukee, Stotts compiled a 63-83 record but he did guide the Bucks to the 2006 play-offs, where they lost in the first round to
Detroit.
Krystkowiak, 42, played nine seasons in the NBA, including four with the Bucks between 1987-92.
