Porter還是被火掉了.... -- http://www.jsonline.com/sports/buck/jun05/335658.asp Bucks fire Porter as coach By CHARLES F. GARDNER [email protected] Posted: June 22, 2005 Milwaukee Bucks coach Terry Porter was fired today, barely one month after the team announced he would return to finish out the third guaranteed year on his contract. Porter led the Bucks to a 41-41 record in his first season with the team, in 2003-04, but the club slumped to a 30-52 record during the past season and did not reach the playoffs. The Milwaukee native’s job status was the subject of considerable speculation late in the Bucks season, but general manger Larry Harris announced on May 6 that Porter would return. Porter recently attended the Chicago pre-draft camp and was involved in the team's preparations for the upcoming draft. He had been in the Cousins Center for workouts of the prospective No. 1 picks, Marvin Williams and Andrew Bogut, on Sunday and Monday. "We’re basically in the same boat," Harris said during the May 6 news conference. "I told Terry, We're going to sink or swim together on this. He has a lot to prove and so do I. "I hired him. I want him to succeed. If he fails, I fail, and I don’t want to see that happen." In a news release today, Harris said, "I have concluded after much thought that we need to go in a new direction with respect to the head coaching position. My job is to make our team the very best it can be and that often means making difficult decisions such as this one." Said Porter in the news release, "Obviously, I am disappointed by the decision. However, I am grateful to Senator Kohl and Larry Harris for the opportunity they gave me." The team said it would pay the remaining year on Porter's contract. --
