Spearheading Sheboygan’s mission to garner the Bucks’ D-League is Joe Wolf, who is considered by some the greatest high school basketball player ever in Wisconsin. Wolf played in the NBA, including one season with the Bucks, and later was an assistant coach for the team.

And Dickert said on Tuesday night, “We haven’t heard anything from them (the Bucks).’’
Bucks president Peter Feigin said five cities from Wisconsin have submitted bids to become the home of the team’s new D-League team. They are Racine, Sheboygan, Green Bay, Oshkosh and La Crosse.

Feigin said the Bucks expect to select a city “in the next six to eight weeks.’’ The Bucks plan to have a team in place for the 2017-2018 season.
