How long will Skiles stay?
The difference between Porter, Stotts, Krystkowiak and Skiles is the former 3 were “nice guys” who finished last, or darn close to it. Skiles, on the other hand, is a hard nosed, take no “BS” style of coach who’s a disciplinarian and won’t stand for the lackluster performances that have been trotted out on to the court under the guise of NBA Basketball. He’s a “say what he feels” type of guy and, in my opinion, that’s the kick in the pants that this organization needs right now. Skiles might not be the guy to take the Bucks from good to great but he’s certainly the guy who can take them from awful to good.
Whether or not the new head man has to deal with the shortcomings of Michael Redd or the “shoot first” mentality of his point guard, Mo Williams, we’ll have to wait and see what the off-season holds but one things for sure, it’s Skiles’ way or the highway and people in Milwaukee certainly know how to relate to that.
A semblance of defense, a propensity for “TEAM” and a hustle that’s worthy of the price of a ticket are all that people in Milwaukee are asking for, I believe that Skiles is the man that can deliver that.
One thing to remember, with the gruff exterior of a Scott Skiles, that’s something that will wear on players over time. How long the players, and fans for that matter, can stand it will determine how long Skiles’ tenure will reign.
