Head coach Taylor Jenkins‘ coaching staff for the Bucks is taking shape. In addition to the recently reported addition of Patrick St. Andrews as an assistant, Milwaukee is bringing on Joe Boylan and retaining Darvin Ham, Eric Nehm and Sam Amick report for The Athletic.
Ham spent six of the last eight seasons with the Bucks, working first under Mike Budenholzer and more recently under Doc Rivers. In between those two stints, he was the Lakers’ head coach for two seasons, taking them to the Western Conference finals in 2023. He was considered a candidate for the Pelicans’ head coach vacancy this summer before Jamahl Mosley was eventually hired.
St. Andrews has a close relationship with Jenkins, stemming from their time working as assistant coaches together with the Hawks and extending to their time in Memphis during Jenkins’ tenure as head coach.
Like St. Andrews, Boylan worked with Jenkins in Memphis, spending one season with the Grizzlies after working with the Timberwolves from 2021-24. Boylan held a variety of player development roles before he was hired by Minnesota, spending time with the Pelicans, Grizzlies, Warriors, and Celtics.
