Darvin Ham, Joe Boylan To Join Bucks Coaching Staff

Head coach Taylor Jenkins‘ coaching staff for the Bucks is taking shape. In addition to the recently-announced Peter St. Andrews, Milwaukee is bringing on Joe Boylan and retaining Darvin Ham, Eric Nehm and Sam Amick report for The Athletic.

Ham spent six of the last eight seasons with the Bucks, working first under Mike Budenholzer and more recently Doc Rivers. In between those two stints, he was the Lakers’ head coach for two seasons, taking them to the Western Conference Finals in 2023. He was considered a frontrunner for the Pelicans’ head coach vacancy this summer before Jamahl Mosley was eventually hired.

St. Andrews has a close relationship with Jenkins, stemming from their time working as assistant coaches together with the Hawks and extending to their time in Memphis during Jenkins’ tenure as head coach. Like St. Andrews, Joe Boylan worked with Jenkins on the Grizzlies, spending one season in Memphis after spending the previous two years with the Timberwolves.
