Thats a shame he got fired.. Considering what he was working with, on a "health wise" basis, and that team.. Im sure theres more to it than that. I'm not a Bulls fan, but i have always had a lot of respect for him as a coach.. I remember when he left the Celtics, i was praying the Sixers had a shot to get him, but we ended up with the "great" Doug Collins! lol..

the bulls and white sox [both owned by jerry reinsdorf] are strange franchises. the bulls motto is, "organizations win championships" news flash, the bulls havent won anything since the jordan era. Reinsdorf's main toadie is still jerry krause. krause started out as an advance baseball scout for the sox and then migrated over to the bulls..he was and still is reinie's go to guy. paxon and gar forman are listed as the big shots, but make no mistake..krause still calls the shots..granted, thibs could be abrasive...several players chafed when asked to play D, but Thibs had them winning games. rumor has it that fred hoiberg from iowa state is the #1 pick to get the job...recall that when the bulls ran phil jackson out of town, they brought in tim "pour me another" floyd from iowa state...larry eustachy [sp] took floyd job at ISU..a fine rep for the university..drinking and canoodling with coeds and got fired..half the team quit or flunked out...gar forman was an assistant at new mexico state and at iowa state...both places brought in a bunch of players from "the assemblies of god's greater mission high school" or some such diploma mill. The ncaa pulled back the curtain and discovered that 25-30 programs in D1 had kids from this school on their roster--ncaa turned a blind eye to the whole thing...krause is the guy with the iowa state connection...

Some things don't change....it's easier to change coaches than rosters. NHL has the same coaches moving around the league playing musical chairs. If the Bulls sell out nobody in the front office is ever going to take the fall.

so true dobber..chicago is funny that way...cubs mostly sell out and up until this year have been loveable losers, bears have had two good years in the last 35 years...sell out...hawks were terrible until wirtz sr passed..always sold out though ! if these teams were in nyc, philly or boston..good luck !
