The Bucks are hiring assistant coaches Legarza wins and Brad Jones to help round out their coaching staff, reports Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).

Legarza is a 36-year-old who got his start as a player development coach in Atlanta, where he worked alongside new Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins. Legarza then joined the Jazz as an advanced scout and assistant coach and stayed in Utah for four years. He spent the 2022/23 season as a Bucks assistant before working for the Suns from 2024-26.

Jones also spent three years with the Jazz, though he didn’t overlap with Legarza during his stint in Utah (2013-16). He went on to spend the 2018/19 season coaching the Memphis Hustle and then was as a Grizzlies assistant coach from 2019-23, working under Jenkins at the time.

The Bucks are building a staff featuring several coaches with whom Jenkins is familiar, having previously hired Patrick St. Andrews along with Joe Boylan.
