When the Chicago Bulls are able to formally interview head coaching candidates, Tom Thibodeau should be atop the list.
Finally under new leadership, Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas’ first move, when the league’s return-to-play proposal is officially imposed, will be to hire a new coach. Jim Boylen’s .317 winning percentage, accompanied by the players’ resounding doubts about his abilities to steer the team back in the right direction, is reason enough for the Bulls to move on.
And while it would seem that 76ers assistant Ime Udoka is the preferred candidate, could the Bulls turn to a familiar face? From 2010-2015, Tom Thibodeau led the Bulls to a .647 winning percentage, including a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals and two Central division titles.
