There was a moment there when you thought Jim Boylen was going to remain the Bulls coach, wasn’t there? And when I say “a moment,’’ I mean a few months that felt like a lifetime.

The search begins for a replacement, and new Bulls vice president Arturas Karnisovas will be looking for someone who can get players’ attention and earn their respect.
