MILWAUKEE (Nov. 18, 2022) – The Milwaukee Bucks are deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Ron Stewart, a highly respected and adored longtime team scout. Ron played a key role in scouting professional and college players, and his well-regarded talent assessments have been instrumental to the Bucks’ success.
Prior to joining the Bucks, Stewart enjoyed a successful head coaching career at Western Michigan University where he guided the women’s program to multiple post-season tournaments, including the NCAA Tournament and the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. Stewart also served on the coaching staffs of the men’s basketball programs at Florida and Kansas State, along with stints at Southern Methodist and Nebraska.
We send our deepest condolences to Ron’s wife, June, their sons Ryan and Kyle, and their family and friends. The Bucks will always be grateful to Ron for his hard work and commitment to the organization. He will be missed.
