Cheap Vapormax Shoes . The Bucks announced Friday that they have reached an agreement to hire Drew as their new head coach. According to ESPN, the deal is worth $10 million over four years. General manager John Hammond said Drews track record in Atlanta and experience as an assistant coach and former player made him the right choice. "We look forward to what he will bring to this franchise and we welcome him and his family to Milwaukee," Hammond said. Drew will replace interim coach Jim Boylan, who stepped in after the Bucks and Scott Skiles parted ways Jan. 8. Drew was 128-102 in Atlanta, and the Hawks reached the post-season in each of his three seasons. But general manager Danny Ferry, who inherited Drew when he took over last year, opted to let the coach go after the season as he continues his overhaul of the Hawks. Milwaukee made the playoffs this year for the first time since 2010, only to be swept by the Miami Heat. The sweep was part of a late-season collapse that cost Boylan any chance of getting the Bucks job permanently. After being two games over .500 on March 19, Milwaukee won just four of its last 16 regular-season games. It was Milwaukees third straight year with a losing record, and eighth time in the last nine years. Drew does not have the name recognition of Jerry Sloan or Stan Van Gundy, both of whom the Bucks tried to lure out of retirement. But he left Atlanta with a winning record, and consistently got more out of his teams than many expected. In his first season, the Hawks upset Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs, then took the Chicago Bulls to six games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. His understated demeanour could be just what the Bucks need, too, after a tumultuous season that included Skiles departure, a mid-season trade that sent promising young forward Tobias Harris to Orlando for J.J. Redick, and the implosion down the stretch that many blamed on players being more concerned with their own futures than the teams results. Redick and Mike Dunleavy are unrestricted free agents, while Brandon Jennings is a restricted free agent. Monta Ellis has until June 20 to exercise an $11 million player option. Drew faced similar challenges in Atlanta, where Ferry was brought in to remake the team in the hope of reviving a stagnant franchise. Despite going 84-64 in his first two seasons and reaching the playoffs both years, Drew was not offered an extension last summer. An assistant to previous coach Mike Woodson who moved up when his boss was fired in 2010, he was seen as part of the old regime. With his contract expiring June 30, Drew was essentially a lame duck this season -- and having only three players who were under contract for the upcoming season didnt help. Still, Atlanta finished 44-38 before losing to Indiana in six games in the first round of the playoffs. "I thought we had a really good season given what our circumstances were. They werent the best," Drew said after the Hawks were eliminated. "Whether Im back here or not, I dont know. The one thing I will say is Ive had a great run here." Ferry hired San Antonio Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer to replace Drew. Drew inherits a Bucks squad that has plenty of potential -- but two major questions in the status of Ellis and Jennings. The two led the Bucks in scoring -- Ellis averaged 19.2 points per game, Jennings 17.5 -- and combined for almost 37 per cent of Milwaukees points. They also led the team in assists and minutes. But the Bucks have good, young players in Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson, as well as the 15th pick in the June 27 draft. Sanders made huge strides in his third season, more than doubling his scoring average (9.8 points) and grabbing more rebounds (672) than he had in his first two years combined. Henson, a rookie, showed his potential with a monster game April 10 in Orlando, flirting with a triple-double with 25 rebounds, 17 points and seven blocks. Ilyasova averaged a career-best 13.2 points and seven rebounds, while Luc Mbah a Moute has emerged as a standout defender. With more than $20 million in cap room, Milwaukee has money to spend on free agents, too. Now its up to Drew to do something with it.

The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer.

Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi is keeping his cards close to his chest as to who will replace Jamie Maclaren in Friday nights A-League battle against Adelaide United.In-form striker Maclaren is in Thailand on Socceroos duty and will miss the clash at Coopers Stadium after scoring in back-to-back games.Around half a dozen players could conceivably fill in for him up front, including midfielder Brett Holman, Spanish import Arana, winger Brandon Borrello, utility Dimitri Petratos, and young forwards Joey Katebian and Nick DAgostino.Aloisi has made his decision but was in no mood to give the opposition any hints as the Roar seek what would be a fourth consecutive victory.We worked on it yesterday, it seemed to work well, what were trying to do. Hopefully tomorrow it will work really well, he told reporters on Thursday.At the moment, Im not going to say who were thinking of starting with because Im sure Adelaide United will be guessing.Maclaren missed only a handful of games last season and on those occasions was replaced by either DAgostino, Henrique or Jean Carlos Solorzano.The latter two have since left Brisbane while DAgostino is yet to make an appearance for the Roar this campaign.Arana and Petratos, meanwhile, made their season debuts off the bench in last weeks 1-0 win over Melbourne City.Aloisi said it was a difficult decision as no other players in the squad share Maclarens attributes.Maccas a different sort of player to most strikerss in this league, he said.

He plays on shoulders and makes forward runs, so well have someone there who will (do that), whether its a No.9 who does it or a midfielder who comes from deep or a winger, because its important we have someone to stretch the team.The Roar shocked some observers last week by beating City with a counter-attacking game, which could again be effective against an Adelaide side that looks to dominate possession at home.Aloisi said just because they were adapting their game to suit specific opponents, doesnt mean theyre abandoning their brand of football.One thing youre going to get from Brisbane Roar, well try and play an attacking brand of football to win football games.That doesnt mean you have to have more possession than the opposition, it means when you do go and attack, you attack with a purpose.STATS THAT MATTER* Adelaide have won each of their last two encounters with Brisbane Roar in the A-League and will be looking for a third consecutive win against them for the first time in the league.* Brisbane Roar have earned victory on seven of their last nine trips to Adelaide (L1, D1).* Brisbane have won each of their last three games, conceding only one goal in the process. The last time they won more games in a row was a four-game streak from December to January last season.
