There was probably one team other than the Ohio State Buckeyes that had a worst end to 2016 and entry into 2017: the Chicago Bulls.
It wasn’t just that the Bulls lost their fifth game in the last seven against the Milwaukee Bucks (who they’re currently 0-3 against this season).
No, their issues stem from off-the-court matters involving second-year head coach Fred Hoiberg and Rajon Rondo, arguably the most confusing free agent signing of this past summer.
This past Friday, ESPN NBA insider Marc Stein wrote a piece on Hoiberg’s job security, and according to his sources, things potentially could end sooner rather than later for the former Bulls guard-turned-head coach.
