Krystko At Home in Milwaukee
He's made it to Milwaukee, signed his deal, and couldn't be happier according to a Milwaukee Journal Article:
"I feel very fortunate, very blessed," Krystkowiak said at a news conference Thursday afternoon at the Bucks' training center. "I'm kind of pinching myself that it's all happening. Missoula, Montana, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are two of my favorite places. To have an opportunity to get into the league as a coach, it's not an easy thing to do."
On when it all went down and the future:
Stotts and Krystkowiak first chatted about the job at the NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando. They then met with owner Herb Kohl and after only a short period of time, Krystkowiak was a member of Stotts' staff.
Krystkowiak called the Bucks' roster "solid" and said he was looking forward to working with Andrew Bogut and the Bucks' other big men.
We saw what he did with Strait, I'm looking forward to see how Bogut's game develops under LK.
The best quote I heard out of the whole situation was from Matt (not Max) Martin in a Missoulian article I mentioned in an earler post:
“He called us in and just told us straight out that he would never leave Montana for another college job,” junior Matt Martin said of the team's meeting with Krystkowiak. “It's a chance to coach at the highest level, which he can't pass up and we all understood that. He loves this place ... it was hard for him to let go.
“He's going to be missed, but by the same token I think the guys have a sense of relief and pleasure that Tinks is going to step in and be our leader.”
