MILWAUKEE—One day before facing the Bulls at the United Center(Wednesday night),the Milwaukee Bucks and Scott Skiles have agreed to part ways immediately.The decision was mutual between Skiles and the team.Skiles decided to walk away because he “hated his team.” The Bucks are 16-16 this season, having fallen off after starting as the second-best team in the East for a stretch in November. The team has actually been more competitive than many anticipated, with big wins over several Eastern Conference powers.But apparently the situation was untenable for the impatient Skiles.Reportedly, Skiles told the team he was fine with not getting an extension and walking away after the season, the last of his contract. You wonder if that report led Skiles to accelerate his timeline. Meanwhile, just like when Skiles was fired by the Bulls in 2008, assistant Jim Boylan will take over as interim coach.It’s not February 2 for a few weeks, but it seems this is “Groundhog Day”. The Bucks have several unstable parts of their team, with Monta Ellis with an early termination option to become a free agent this summer, and GM John Hammond also in the final year of his contract. Boylan is well known in Milwaukee where he played for both Al McGuire and Hank Raymonds at Marquette in the late 1970’s. Will Skiles ever get another NBA Head Coaching position? If he does, his shelve life was proven with the Bulls,Bucks and Suns to be no more than three seasons before he wears out on his Players.
