Ford to coaching staff"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">Per Yahoo Sports\u2019 Kelly Iko, the Bucks are adding T.J. Ford to Taylor Jenkins\u2019 coaching staff. Of course, Ford was drafted eighth overall by the Bucks and played for the franchise from 2003 to 2007. In the three seasons that he was on the court in Milwaukee (he missed his second year due to injury), Ford averaged 11.5 PPG, 7.0 APG, 3.6 RPG, and 1.3 steals.

He has, however, spent a long time coaching youth, AAU, and high school hoops. I\u2019ll hazard a guess that Ford will specialise in player development with the Bucks\u2014which the org at large will be placing a massive emphasis on, given their new outlook\u2014because this seems to have been his MO at prior stops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Welcome back, T.J.
