It's amazing how many times you run into someone in regular life who may have grown up in this area and left for one reason or another, but then returned to Milwaukee.  And here we go with another Bucks coach.  Since George Karl left, Terry Porter returned to his hometown and then Terry Stotts returned to where he had been an assistant and then Larry Krystkowiak took over the team he used to play for.  Now it's Scott Skiles, who was a first round draft choice by the Bucks.  He actually played less than estimable fellow rookie guard Keith Smith in his lone year here.  Skiles can say all the right things, but the measure of his success will be in whether or not he can make the players on his roster accountable and whether or not he can instill in them  reason to show pride in playing for Milwaukee.  After all, some day they may want to return.
