While talent rules in the NBA, I'd say you need some semblance of a head coach to be competitive. VDN is a complete joke. D'Antoni would have been so great for this club. Derrick Rose #'s would be even better than they are now, this team would be fun as well to watch and it would have helped in attracting FA's. Yes, he eventually would have worn out his time, but would have brought this team a point were they are ready to contend. The fact he isn't coaching this team is a complete and utter joke. Thanks Reinsdorf and Pax..again. Vinny is a joke. Lots of us said this when he was first hired too. I don't understand why Pax did this. It doesn't take much basketball knowledge to see that a guy with no coaching experience is not the right choice. I have little basketball expertise. How come I could see this and Pax couldn't? I'm just asking because that move seemed dumb at the time, and even dumber now. Even if Vinny somehow finds his coaching voice now, it will still have been a bad move because we've now lost time. It was a pure financial move, so I shouldn't be blaming Paxson for this one. The Bulls head coaching search was 100% Reindsdorf and after he decided he didn't want to ruin his relationship with Doug Collins....he went straight for the budget buy. i love all of your insider information. so awesome to have Reinsdorf's confidant on the board here for us WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=3430388&type=story that wasn't the point I was contending
