Jenkins isnât a stranger to the Bucks. He spent the 2018-19 NBA season as an assistant under Mike Budenholzer before taking the head coaching job with the Memphis Grizzlies.
He stayed in Memphis for six seasons and posted a 250-214 record while earning a reputation as one of the better coaching minds in the league.
Memphis made the playoffs four times during his run, though he didnât coach the team in the fourth appearance after getting dismissed late in the regular season.
Still, his ability to develop young talent and adjust schemes to fit his roster became his calling card. That flexibility could matter more than ever in Milwaukee right now.
