The decision to fire head coach Fred Hoiberg is one that can be easily justified.
Either a good tactician saddled with an inability to command an NBA locker room, or simply just a bad coach with an inflated resume and proper connections, a case can be mounted for why Hoiberg’s tenure in Chicago had to end. Fingers pointed at an inability to develop the team and its players, let bad habits be formed, and dysfunction on both sides of the ball that led to only five wins in 24 games this season.
Still, the winding roads of incompetence eventually lead back to the same place they’ve always been.
