Adrian Griffin, the former Chicago Bulls player and coach, was hired by the Milwaukee Bucks to become the team’s new head coach.
Griffin, 48, played for the Bulls during two different stints from 2004-05 and 2006-08. He became an assistant coach for the Bulls after his playing career in 2010. He served in that role until 2015.
On Saturday, the two sides reached an agreement and are working on a multi-year contract, according to the report. The Bucks were sold on Griffin's"leadership presence, character and ability to oversee high-level defensive teams," sources told Wojnarowski. In the past, he built defensive systems under Billy Donovan, the Bulls' current head coach, and Tom Thibodeau, former head coach of the Bulls.
