The Milwaukee Bucks have hired Terry Stotts as their new coach, a source within the league said Friday.

Stotts was to be introduced at an afternoon news conference, according to the source, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Stotts, who was an assistant with the Golden State Warriors last season, coached the Atlanta Hawks for 1? seasons. He went 52-85 in Atlanta after replacing Lon Kruger in 2002-03. He also served under George Karl as an assistant for four seasons in Milwaukee.

Stotts replaces Terry Porter, who was unexpectedly fired June 22, days before the Bucks selected Andrew Bogut with the top pick in the NBA draft.
