Legarza\u2019s name may ring a bell for Bucks fans, as he was hired as an assistant under Mike Budenholzer in his final season in Milwaukee; he then followed coach Bud to Phoenix the following year. But the connections don\u2019t stop there, with Legarza and Jenkins having worked under Budenholzer in Atlanta.

In 2013, he got a shot with the Utah Jazz as an assistant coach, which was then followed by his appointment as the GM of the Iowa Wolves (Minnesota\u2019s D-League affiliate) as well as a scout for the big team. Then, as I mentioned, he wound up with the Grizzlies, and here we are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As Zac <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewhoop.com\/bucks-news\/66066\/milwaukee-taylor-jenkins-coaching-hire-joe-boylan-darvin-ham-patrick-st-andrews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote about<\/a> previously, Darvin Ham, and Patrick St. Andrews\u2014both of whom have already had extensive coaching experience in the Cream City\u2014are back under Jenkins, while Joe Boylan arrives for his first stint.
