ST. FRANCIS, Wis. (AP) -- The Milwaukee Bucks fired head coach Terry Porter on Wednesday, two months after finishing their worst season in almost a decade.

The Bucks have the first pick in next week's NBA draft, and general manager Larry Harris said the team needs to take a new direction.

``Certainly for the direction of this franchise heading forward, we certainly need to make a move,'' Harris said.

Plagued with injuries and a revolving roster, the Bucks went 30-52 last season and failed to make the playoffs in Porter's second with the team.

Why on Earth did they wait til now?!? They could have had a new coach in place weeks ago, and he could have helped them decide what this "new direction" is. I can easily see the 1st pick going either way, and I bet the new coach would appreciate having a say.
