The Milwaukee Bucks have strengthened their coaching staff with the addition of Pete Dominguez, who now serves as an assistant coach for Doc Rivers, according to information provided by Eric Nehm of The Athletic. Dominguez, previously the head video coordinator for the L.A. Clippers (2018-2020) and coaching associate for the Philadelphia 76ers (2020-2023), shares a significant connection with Rivers. He made his appearance on the Bucks’ sidelines during their recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Before joining the Bucks, Dominguez served as the head coach for the Argentine team Obras Sanitarias. Although Obras’s campaign in Liga Nacional de Basquet is ongoing, his departure has reportedly been well-received and supported within the team.
Expressing the difficulty of his decision, Dominguez stated, “It was a very difficult decision to make because I am very happy with the club, the neighborhood, and this league. Doc Rivers is a very important person for me, and the team is a serious contender for an NBA title.”
Dominguez is the latest addition to Rivers’ coaching staff, which also includes Dave Joerger and Rex Kalamian. This development follows the recent replacement of Adrian Griffin with Rivers, despite the Bucks holding a strong record of 30-13 and the second-best position in the Eastern Conference. However, the team has yet to secure a win under Rivers, experiencing their second consecutive loss against the Blazers.
