Assistant coaches' deals finalized

Per Tom Enlund, the aforementioned Jim Boylan, Lionel Hollins, Kelvin Sampson and Joe Wolf are now officially in the fold:

“I’m excited to be able to assemble this strong coaching staff in Milwaukee,” said Skiles. “Jim, Lionel, Kelvin and Joe all bring experience to the Bucks bench as well as diverse coaching skills. I’m eager to gain their insights as we prepare for the upcoming season.”

On paper the coaching staff is a solid group, beginning with the proven combination of Skiles and his longtime lead assistant (and Marquette alum) Boylan. Sampson is probably the most interesting selection because of his ignominious departure from Indiana, but it's worth noting that Larry Brown wanted him in Charlotte and Gregg Popovich brought him in as an advisor this spring. Those are some impressive references to have on your resume.

Hollins was a longtime assistant with the Grizzlies, but the former point guard's more interesting credentials include two all-defensive teams and a championship ring with the '77 Blazers. We can only hope some of that success rubs off on the Bucks' guards.

Lastly, Wolf returns to his home state after a few successful seasons coaching in the D-League. I'm not sure if the former journeyman center is being viewed as a possible mentor for the Bucks' young bigs, but Wolf's background means he's got experience developing/coaching young players.
