Bucks To Hire Patrick St. Andrews As Assistant Coach

The Bucks are hiring former Blazers assistant coach Patrick St. Andrews, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link). St. Andrews worked previously with the Bucks’ new coach, Taylor Jenkins, when they were both with the Grizzlies.

St. Andrews was in charge of managing Portland’s minutes distribution and restrictions due to injuries last season, notes Rose Garden Report’s Sean Highkin (via Twitter), who said St. Andrews was one of the team’s top assistants.

Prior to his time with the Blazers, St. Andrews spent five seasons as an assistant with the Bucks, making this move something of a homecoming. It also gives Jenkins a familiar face as he continues to build out Milwaukee’s coaching staff.
