I believe there is a genuine feeling among the Bulls fanbase to want to give the new front office hires the benefit of the doubt. That applies to their first significant move: what to do with the head coaching position.
So that’s why, even though the current plan is to have known failure Jim Boylen go through some coaching pantomime gauntlet as a thorough evaluation, we - and moreso from the local media - struggle to come up with explanations for something that is on its face is nonsensical.
One of those rationalizations I’ve seen - though not from anyone significant, to be fair - is that there is no urgency to punt Boylen because the candidates for a head coaching vacancy will be busy with the teams with season remaining.
