Porter will get Bucks coaching job

Terry Porter, a native of Milwaukee who played 17 seasons in the NBA, has been hired to coach the Bucks, according to a league source.

The Bucks called a news conference today to introduce Porter, 40, who was an assistant with the Sacramento Kings last season, his only year in coaching.

"It's great news," Kings owner Joe Maloof said Tuesday night. "Anytime one of your assistant coaches has a chance to get a head coaching job, it's a great thing for both franchises."

After starring at Milwaukee South Division High School and at Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Porter was hoping to be drafted by the Bucks in 1985, but they bypassed him. He was selected by Portland.
