One thing that has stood out throughout this disappointing Bulls season is Jim Boylen’s positivity.
Following most every game, he has highlighted in-game moments that he feels are signs of progress, even if they’re as basic as winning a quarter. He has praised players for their care factor and development.
The approach, like many of Boylen’s, has bothered some fans and observers. Perhaps not to the degree that his late-game timeout usage or rotational decisions or systems have, but the trait has caused some angst nonetheless.
It also stands in contrast to when Boylen first took over for the fired Fred Hoiberg.
