Scott Skiles will return to Milwaukee in 2012/13 to coach the Bucks, he confirmed today to Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Twitter link).
In his fourth season on the Bucks' bench, Skiles led the team to a 31-35 record, missing the playoffs by four games after hanging within striking distance of the eighth seed for most of the season. Skiles is entering the final year of his contract and there was some speculation that he and GM John Hammond could be on the hot seat if Milwaukee missed the postseason.
Skiles' agent Keith Glass told Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times last week that his client wouldn't be seeking a buyout on the last year of his deal, while a number of Bucks players recently expressed a desire to see Skiles return for next season.
