Arturas Karnisovas has used the word “change’’ frequently since he was hired as the new Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations at the start of the offseason.
He used it when he fired former general manager Gar Forman, hired Marc Eversley to fill that vacated office, and again when he dismissed Jim Boylen as head coach last month.
Always reminding the media he was “hired to affect change.’’
That continued to ring true in seismic proportions on Tuesday, as Karnisovas showed this isn’t the same old Bulls, grabbing the most experienced, well-regarded coach on the open market in Billy Donovan.
