Milwaukee Bucks Express Condolences on the Passing of Herd Assistant Coach Joe Wolf

Joe had a successful career that spanned over 37 years, starting as a player in the NBA for 12 years and then transitioning to coaching for 25 years at various levels including college, CBA, NBA G League, and the NBA. During his time as a coach, he also served as an assistant coach for the Bucks. Prior to his coaching career, Joe had an impressive playing career, leading Kohler High School to three state titles and earning the title of Wisconsin’s greatest high school basketball player by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2005. He was also an All-ACC player at the University of North Carolina, making four NCAA Tournament appearances. In 1987, Joe was drafted as the No. 13 overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Off the court, Joe was cherished as a brother, uncle, friend, and community leader.

We send our deepest condolences to Joe’s family and friends. The Bucks and Herd will always be grateful to Joe for his hard work and commitment to our organization. He will be missed.
