It was almost shocking to Marc Eversley.
In combing through the structure of his new Bulls organization before immediately accepting the general manager seat months ago, Eversley quickly pointed out an all but empty player development cupboard.
“I really believe winning starts from a foundation of player development,’’ Eversley said then. “I was surprised to find there was one player development coach on the staff as I was doing my research for this job. That’s a helluva job for one person to take on.’’
A job that was officially fortified on Saturday.
Not only did the Bulls announce the full assistant coaching staff under head coach Billy Donovan with the hiring of Maurice Cheeks, Josh Longstaff, John Bryant, Damian Cotter and Billy Schmidt, but added Henry Domercant, Ronnie Burrell, Ty Abbott and Max Rothschild as player development coordinators.
