Well, KC Johnson said it would happen by Friday. Glad they just went ahead and did it.

About time. Hopefully we get a coach that will play the the entire roster and hold the player's far more accountable for their actions on the court. Also teach them common sense basketball, you know "coach them up". He will be fine and so will the bulls.

Sad to see him go, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Now, here comes the replacement rumors.

Now I wonder who the bulls have their sights on as his replacement. Hope it's Udoka.

I liked Thibs a lot, but I think this was the right thing to do. I just wish he would've hired an offensive mind as an assistant. The Bulls looked lost at times on the offensive end

Too bad they couldn't get any compensation for him

Can we blame this on Cutler?

The fact they didnt want him and Thibs wanted to stay pretty much said no compensation was going to happen.
Thibs will get paid $9 million to do nothing if he so chooses...he could still be hired by the Pelicans though and the Bulls would only be on the hook for the difference in salary if any.

I wonder why? The rumor mill kept stating that NOLA and Orlando had interest.

So I wonder if we stand pat roster wise and just try it all over again with a new coach, or if we just blow it all up

I heard they suggested to Thibs to hire an offensive minded assistant coach but he was too stubborn and thought he could do the job better himself.

End result is that Thibs is Scott Skiles.
