Milwaukee Bucks hire Skiles as new head coach

So they’re turning to Scott Skiles, the man who owns the NBA’s single-game assist record – and who once got into a fight with Shaquille O’Neal during his playing days and lived to tell the tale.

The Bucks introduced Skiles as their new coach Monday, signing the former Chicago Bulls and Phoenix Suns coach to a four-year deal to replace someone Skiles considers a close friend, Larry Krystkowiak.
