TOM THIBODEAU DISMISSED AS BULLS HEAD COACH

Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman announced today that Tom Thibodeau will not be retained as the team’s head coach.

Chicago Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said, “The Chicago Bulls have a history of achieving great success on and off the court. These accomplishments have been possible because of an organizational culture where input from all parts of the organization has been welcomed and valued, there has been a willingness to participate in a free flow of information, and there have been clear and consistent goals. While the head of each department of the organization must be free to make final decisions regarding his department, there must be free and open interdepartmental discussion and consideration of everyone's ideas and opinions. These internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private. Teams that consistently perform at the highest levels are able to come together and be unified across the organization-staff, players, coaches, management and ownership. When everyone is on the same page, trust develops and teams can grow and succeed together. Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture. To ensure that the Chicago Bulls can continue to grow and succeed, we have decided that a change in the head coaching position is required. Days like today are difficult, but necessary for us to achieve our goals and fulfill our commitments to our fans. I appreciate the contributions that Tom Thibodeau made to the Bulls organization. I have always respected his love of the game and wish him well in the future.”

Following 21 years in the NBA as an assistant coach (he was an advance scout in 1991-92), Chicago named Thibodeau the team’s head coach on June 23, 2010. During his five seasons at the helm of the Bulls, Thibodeau’s teams compiled an overall record of 255-139 (.647). The Bulls advanced to the playoffs five times during Thibodeau’s tenure, where he posted a postseason record of 23-28 (.451).

"When Tom was hired in 2010, he was right for our team and system at that time, and over the last five years we have had some success with Tom as our head coach,” said Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman. “But as we looked ahead and evaluated how we as a team and an organization could continue to grow and improve, we believed a change in approach was needed."

Geez.... basically called him a stubborn whiny snitch

This is a similar problem that Mark Jackson had. Guys like this need to ease up and be more adaptable.

If I was Butler I would leave just based on that shady ass move

They can match any offer he receives. He's restricted.

 

[HNIC973]

no more middle school offense

 

[bsmooth]

What a stupid decision, the Bulls will regret that one. If I was Butler I would leave just based on that shady ass move

Side note... Knicks should pick up Tibs and move Fisher to PG

You mean the same Jimmy Butler who has not so subtlety been talking about how he's been fatigued the past 2 years? His input was probably a catalyst for the firing

 

[meth68]

Dont act like its easy for the players to openly shyt on their coach

Stop acting like a bytch to start an argument and read what i said.. here I will break it down

I hate my boss,,,, hate him hes a piece of shyt.
I know I cant sit there and tell him or another manager that he should go
BUT... i am not going to sit here and speak to people on how awesome he is, I will 1) ignore it 2) move on.
You dont have to endorse anyone and that was my point.

If you hate him, when asked the question just move on it is what it is, dont sit there and say hes an amazing coach and we all want him back here next year, then go run to Paxon crying like a bytch.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

It's whatever. I wouldn't be mad if Beaker and Walter White are shown the door too:mjshrug1:

That's what's bad about this, these 2 incompetent idiots who never got shyt quality done to build a serious contender will go unscathed in all this as if it was all the coaching.

We could list 40 moves or non moves these "stand pat" "stay the course" ass idiots dropped the ball on.

These idiots will hire hoiberg, sign Paul pierce for 20 million a year, sign quincy acy, dump dunleavy for salary start snell draft another late pick then act like they had a blockbuster off season.

Gar forman needs to

And Thibs sealed his own fate when he continued to go with the corpse of Kirk Hinrich and 1 good knee having offensively inept in gm 6 when they needed to score points

 

[feelosofer]

Bulls will regret this move. Thibs is an excellent borderline elite coach. Only in the modern sports era can a coach get fired for not getting along with ownership.

thats how it always goes, I dont know why its making you feel a certain way now

players didnt want him, management didnt want him ... we all know hes a good coach, but it just didnt work out here

 

[A1aaa]

He was too stubborn to get with the times--fukk him

While teams were utilizing strategies to rest their players for optimal production (GSW, SAS), he opted to hold the philosophy that he was playing NBA 2K with fatigue turned off.

Losing to an injured Cavs team

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

If he can't get the Pelicans gig.... He should just chill, or do some ESPN stuff

 

[Brozay]

Bulls will regret this move. Thibs is an excellent borderline elite coach. Only in the modern sports era can a coach get fired for not getting along with ownership.

and how about losing a locker room?

we all know hes a 'good' coach, so do the Bulls.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I'm convinced most of you don't watch these games. He's a great defensive coach, no more, no less. Elite? Hell no.

 

[HNIC973]

It's whatever. I wouldn't be mad if Beaker and Walter White are shown the door too:mjshrug1:

both of em need to be next on the firing line

Bulls will regret this move. Thibs is an excellent borderline elite coach. Only in the modern sports era can a coach get fired for not getting along with ownership.

his subs patterns suck his offense sucks no he isn't elite

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

Listened to the press release on the radio and they straight shyt on him in a professionally worded manner. I'm not upset about it because the writing has been on the wall since they let Ron Adams go as assistant. I wish him the best in his future deavors.
