Decision on Coach K expected soon
Quote:
Larry Krystkowiak apparently will know sooner rather than later whether he will continue coaching the Milwaukee Bucks.
Krystkowiak says he would encourage new general manager John Hammond to quickly announce a decision on the future of the coaching staff. Hammond was vague about the matter Friday, the day he was hired away from the Detroit Pistons, but seemed receptive to Krystkowiak's idea Sunday.
"Anytime someone is in a position like this, the best answer you can give is a definite 'yes,' " Hammond said. "The second-best answer is a definite 'no.' The worst answer is, 'I don't know, you'll have to wait.'
"You want to be as fair as possible and while there is no time frame, out of consideration to everyone you want to make a decision in the proper time frame."
Asked if the coaching situation was high on his "to-do" list, Hammond said, "It's the top priority."
Hammond and Krystkowiak have spoken on the phone, and Hammond watched his first game as general manager on Saturday at the Bradley Center, where the Bucks extended their losing streak to six games in a 111-98 loss to the New Jersey Nets.
The two are expected to have a face-to-face meeting sometime this week. Hammond returned to Detroit on Sunday but will be back for the home finale tonight against the Chicago Bulls and he will accompany the team to Minnesota for the final game of the season on Wednesday.
