A year after convincing Pau Gasol to choose Chicago (and its culture!) over the San Antonio Spurs, the Bulls have successfully wooed another Spur to their side in Assistant Coach Jim Boylen.
Alright, not a huge deal, but still a better-than-discouraging hire. Boylen's been everywhere and has the 'well-regarded' tag, purportedly with more of a defensive background but with an all-around skillset as well. This is a promotion in coming to the Bulls, as he'll be Fred Hoiberg's "Associate Head Coach", i.e. the lead assistant.
This is an especially important hire to get right given Hoiberg's lack of experience coaching at this level.
