southsider2k5 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) Sure, but there seemed to be a media angle that the Bulls were going to f*** with Thibs and prevent him from getting a good job. I am betting it was a Thibs angle hoping to get out ASAP so no jobs closed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Wondering if that was leaked by Thibs's side so that they got even more angry and just got it done. Could be. I could also see the Bulls leaking that to entice offers and once they realized no one was going to give them anything they gave up.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 28, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) Yeah I remember that. He did it on a national broadcast and also on the Zach Lowe podcast. It was clear trumpeting on Thibs' behalf. Reinsdorf was pissed about it too and that probably sealed his fate. Again though, add in the fact that the Bulls have only progressed so far, and i'm not sure why anyone is that upset about it. He was a great regular season coach and a great defensive coach. And he should get credit for the development of late 1st round talent. But he took them from point C to B and we need someone that goes from B to A. If the players were getting tired of him, which several apparently said so in their exit interviews, then a change has to be made. I'm not convinced he's a championship level coach, his stubbornness, his rotations and some of the plays the Bulls ran after TOs in crunch time during the playoffs were cringe worthy. Good riddance.

bmags Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 There have been very few changes from successful coach that ended up in elite coach. Collins to Phil, Jackson (if you could call him that) to Kerr.

They always avoided the team facility in the summer because Thibs overwhelmed everyone being there 24/7. I thought that was like common knowledge.

I wonder if overall the disagreements with ownership were making him harden in his ways and thats what led to the failures we saw on the court this year.
