Regular season
The Milwaukee Bucks rebuild in the wake of the trade of Kareem Abdul Jabbar to the Lakers following the 1974-75 NBA season hit bottom in 1976. Head Coach Larry Costello resigned following a 3-15 start. Assistant Coach Don Nelson took over the team but the Bucks slide continued as they eventually fell to 4-25. The Bucks turned things around as the young nucleus began to gel and the Bucks went 26-27 the rest of the way.
