The Milwaukee Bucks are in the midst of a great season. Through 30 games the they’re 22-8 and second in the Eastern Conference. It may have slipped your mind, but the Milwaukee Bucks are still missing one member of their coaching staff. A few days before the regular season began, former Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts abruptly resigned.
Today, the Bucks filled that void.
The Milwaukee Bucks Add Assistant Coach Trevor Gleeson To Staff
Paolo Songco reported the news for Wisconsin Sports Heroics:
That man is Trevor Gleeson, who previously served as an assistant for the Toronto Raptors.
The news broke right before Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. It was NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski who was one of the first to report this significant development.
As announced by Milwaukee head coach Adrian Griffin on Thursday morning, Gleeson joins the 22-8 Bucks, who are ranked second in the Eastern Conference:
“I want to welcome Trevor Gleeson to our coaching staff … well respected coach from Australia and the United States,” Griffin said.
“Had the pleasure of working with him in Toronto. Five-time NBL champion. Brings a wealth of experience with him. Just a great all-around guy, so he’ll make a great addition to our staff.”
Coach Gleeson won five NBL titles with the Wildcats in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020. From 2006-2011, he coached the Townsville Crocodiles, the Melbourne Tigers from 2011-2012, and Perth from 2013-2021. When Bucks fans saw the news, they reacted accordingly on social media:

Gleeson is a legend in the NBL. Coached a dynasty at Perth where they won titles for fun.
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t a head coach one day.— Nick (@nickstaroo) December 27, 2023
