. The Bulls biggest issue isn't coaching. People overrate that and it's the biggest reason for the Thibs bashing. Vinny Del Negro is universally panned as a crappy coach. Most people would be astounded to know that he has won 53% of his games as a coach. Why? He had good talent with the Bulls and great talent with the Clippers.


I don't think people overrate coaching, I think you underrate it.

The better question with regard to your Vinny example is why did Vinny only win 53% (which isn't good, by the way) of his games in Chicago and LA when his successors in both cities outpaced him with virtually the same rosters? The answer is because Vinny isn't a good coach and Thibs and Doc are good coaches. If Vinny coaches the All Pro NBA team he would lose in a seven game series to Pop's Spurs or Kerr's Warriors. Not so if the All Pro team has a good coach.


Vinny Del Negro won the exact same number of games in his last year as Doc won in his first year. Kerr isn't really a good example either. Luke Walton coached that roster and got equal if not better results. The Bulls were young under Vinny and if you are going to use the Young excuse with the Wolves then it should be afforded the Bulls too. Rose was in his first two seasons.

I think all of the named coaches are better than Vinny but he was able to win with talent. 53% is good for a crappy coach. I guarantee it is better than that of a number of more highly regarded coaches namely Scott Skiles.


Skiles was definitely better than Vinny.

Almost as funny as those who suggested Hoiberg hadn't gotten a fair chance last year. Tonight was another great display of his legendary pace and space offense.



Anyone that thinks the Bulls biggest issue is coaching is being foolish. That is not to say that he is a good coach. This is a .500 team playing .500 ball. They'd eke out a few more wins with a better coach but that would be about it.

I agree, the biggest issue is the front office, which appears no more competent at selecting coaches than constructing a roster.

Skiles developed MANY of the guys Vinny inherited except Rose. Vinny went to places where the teams had good players with experience. Also he has a .499 record

That argument can be made of any coach. Rose and Noah "developed" under Vinny then.

Looked at the wrong numbers on Skiles. Vinny still has a better record though.

Vinny never coached an extremely young or shit team. Anyone who is half way objective wouldn't say Vinny was a better coach than Skiles. I'm not interested in having that debate either. Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend.

I'm not either to be honest. Either coaching compensates for bad talent or it doesn't. It can't just be when the situation is the right one.

Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.

Everyone knows that this team, whether it's Rose and Jimmy or Jimmy and whomever, is at best a second round playoff team. And they won't even be that this year. The Knicks can have Rose and his damn meetings. That ship sailed a long ass time ago. Westbrook's legacy will be ten times better.


I'd have kept him for one more year though. Playing for a contract. I thought they were going to blow it up but they didnt. Can't build around Butler. Not good enough for that. If people necessarily want that then be prepared to watch a lot of mediocre basketball.

I think the jury on Butler being the "Man" is still out.

I'm with vegan regarding Rose. It was time to move on. And I think the whispers of him and Butler not being the best of friends had a lot to do with it happening prior to his contract coming to an end. Maybe if they had better chemistry then the F.O. let's it ride for one more year, though I think they had already made up their mind that they weren't going to re-sign Rose or Noah for that matter.

Plus wanting Rose gone isn't the same as saying/believing Jimmy is a no 1. Jimmy isn't a no. 1 and Rose is no longer a star. I also wonder if Derrick's legal case had anything to do with the move. Regardless, as MM says, it was time to move on - he just isn't the same.

If you move Rose you have to move Butler. For no other reason than you probably get a nice haul for him. Building around Jimmy Butler gets you nowhere and it'd probably be better to go into full tank mode. If they keep Butler then you keep Rose for the purpose of fielding a more competitive team. The behind the scene stuff didn't really concern me as much.
