This is going great...

No chance these guys pull that crap if Thibbs was still in the big chair... Wow.

This is going to be quite the show.

Hopefully it results in top 2 pick and a real coach

The Bulls owe the Bears big time for being good.

Cowley saying all this practice stuff is a mandate from GarPax of course. Remember how just 4 years ago these clowns were actively trying to dissuade players from trying too hard in practice?

This means nothing if Gar and/or Pax still have front office jobs.

the last time the bulls had a Jim boyl*n era I remember Ben Wallace suspending Joakim Noah for a game. IIRC that team deftly managed to avoid the #8 seed by a game or two, finished with a 1.7% chance for the #1 pick, and we all know how that turned out. Maybe the NBA feels up to rigging us another #1/ish pick?

That '08 team only won like 32 games, no way they were in the hunt for the 8 see--(checks 2008 NBA standings) oh my they really were only four out. God.

Anyway this is a magnificent shitshow and I don't think Boylen lasts the year, let alone all of next year.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I am happy to know that Lauri was a voice of reason and the team seemed to follow him.

Bernstein said during transition that Pax is going to have to coach the team before the year is out and I have to agree. That feels like the natural conclusion of the Paxson era.

Nope.

Even if that came to pass, no way does Jerry whack him. He'll give Pax the option to resign instead.

According to Yahoo its been Boylen that has been coaching the team all along.

Boylen has had numerous verbal confrontations with players since the first week of the season, sources said, with executive vice president John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman being present for many of them. Boylen was Hoiberg’s “bad cop” and clearly embraced the role in his three-plus seasons as associate head coach.

Hoiberg gave Boylen the latitude to run film sessions and practices, and players have privately stated it was Boylen coaching the team, not Hoiberg.

So Hoiberg retired a long time ago.

FFS, I just want one of our winter teams to be decent. I guess I’ll have to settle for the fall team.

Sort of lending credence to the whole losing the team narrative. Its time for GarPax to roll. They do not know what direction they want to go in One minute they want a cerebral mild mannered coach and then the next minute they want hard driving taskmaster.

Boylen is the mastermind behind that shitty ass switching defense that they continue to employ. Doubt seriously that he is the answer.

They've had success with the Skiles and Thibodeaus but they don't play well with management. Hoiberg played well but they neutered him and set him up for failure. I like Paxson but both need to go.

This open revolt is quite amazing, but idk if launching GarPax will change the fact no superstars want to come here as free agents.

Still, they need to go.

They are too indecisive. They were seemingly against the tank before they were for it. They went all in in order to be an 8th seed then pulled the plug as soon as the season was over. When they whacked Thibs they made the argument about wanting guys to play less minutes and now they hire a guy that wants to run them into ground during practice.

Where is the vision?
