Fired Hoiberg

[Proven Veteran]

The article from The Athletic today about this really swung me from there was no reason not to let him finish the season to he had to go now.

That was great reporting by Darnell Mayberry. GarPax should be out on their asses too, but the firing makes more sense now.

listed a few examples of players (even bottom of the roster garbage guys) getting away with blatant insubordination in front of the team (like g league guys dropping f bombs on him). the players just had no respect for him whatsoever (or at least showed none).

There's a little bit of a refreshing way Boylen talks... Like he's still an assistant coach and not worried about too much diplomacy in his media quotes.

“He’ll be missed, but a guy’s got to do what a guy’s got to do,” Boylen said. "He’s going to move on and we’re going to move on. All I’ve been preaching for the last, what is it, 24 hours, 36 hours, whatever, is that we are going to uphold the concept of team and we were going to have a commitment to everything we do. I think Coach Brown felt from his position that it was something he could not do, so I give him credit for that. He’ll always be a special guy to me, and we’re moving on. We got games to play and we’ve got players to develop. The train is moving out, so we gotta get going. We’ve got a franchise to uphold."

Also from this article, the Bulls are elevating longtime employee Karen Stack-Umlauf to an actual bench role. She had been promoted to an associate coach this off season, but sounds like she'll have in increased presence.
