Sampson Back In B-Ball, Bags Bucks Assistant Job

Looks like Kelvin Sampson can stop calling up employment agencies. The former Indiana head coach has apparently agreed to become an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The AP reports that a person “with knowledge of the hiring” says that Sampson will soon be serving on Scott Skiles’ staff. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because Kelvin hasn’t signed a contract yet.

But once Sampson puts his John Hancock on a new deal, he’s scheduled to be joined by other former court generals who’ll be in backup roles on the Bucks’ staff.

The CHICAGO DAILY HERALD follows up with news that recent Chicago Bulls coach Jim Boylan will be heading north up I-94 to reunite with Skiles. Scott is also seeking ex-Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins to come on board with the Bucks.

With all this brainpower on the bench, we expect Milwaukee to make serious noise next season - mostly coming from Kelvin’ cell phone tones.

    Okay, Sam Smith. Then me!
