June 5, 2007 - General Manager Larry Harris announced today that the Bucks have signed Tony Brown to a contract as an assistant coach. Brown is a ten-year NBA assistant coach, having just completed his third season with the Boston Celtics. A veteran of seven seasons as an NBA player, Brown and Bucks Head Coach Larry Krystkowiak were teammates in Milwaukee from 1988-90.
“Tony was a hard-nosed, competitive player and he brings that same mindset to the bench,” said Head Coach Larry Krystkowiak. “He is well-respected in the league and someone our players will enjoy working with. Tony and I had a great relationship as teammates and I look forward to continuing that as we make preparations for the season.”
Prior to his three-year stint on the Celtics bench, Brown served as the lead assistant to Kevin O’Neill in Toronto. He spent two seasons as an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons from 2001-03. The Pistons registered back-to-back 50-win seasons and captured two Central Division titles and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2003 during that span.
