We are still somewhere in the grieving process of the Bulls ‘new regime’ being dead on arrival: even with supposedly full autonomy over basketball, they can’t fire the basketball coach.
We’re at the steps where it’s just piling on circumstantial evidence that Jim Boylen is staying, and learning to accept it.
Late last week there was a truly abysmal column from KC Johnson at the Bulls flagship, where not only did he personally advocate for the “long play” of Arturas Karnisovas not immediately excising the worst coach in the league, but more worrisome is that this is likely informed speculation: where Ownership and Advisors are crying poor and thus don’t want further disruption to their organization’s balance sheet.
