The Hawks added to their coaching staff by naming Taylor Jenkins as an assistant coach Thursday. Jenkins was the head coach of the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League, an affiliate of the Spurs.

Jenkins led the Toros to a 27-23 (.540) record and a playoff berth last season. The Toros defeated the Bakersfield Jam, the Hawks affiliate, before a semifinal loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors. He previously served as an assistant coach with the Toros for four seasons.

“Taylor is a talented, hard-working coach who has a great grasp of the system that we are going to implement,” Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer said in a statement. “He gained valuable experience working in the NBA Development League the past five seasons and with his attention to detail and energy, he will be an asset to my staff.”

Jenkins joins a staff with assistants Quin Snyder, Darvin Ham and Kenny Atkinson.
