Boos of Jerry Krause at Bulls’ Ring of Honor ceremony should have been expected

Sun-Times

Former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause had a rather abrupt and abrasive personality. But he also was a great scout and talent appraiser.

I know Thelma Krause, a kind and decent woman. And if I worked for the Bulls, I would have told her Friday to be prepared for boos ringing out at the mention of late husband Jerry’s name.

The event was the Bulls’ inaugural Ring of Honor induction, and there were 21,153 people at the United Center. Some were going to boo. The Bulls should have been prepared for it. When alive, Jerry Krause had been booed at Bulls events before.
