Bulls firing Boylan:

Quote

DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP)—The Chicago Bulls fired interim coach Jim Boylan on Thursday, likely the first of several changes after a disappointing season.

General manager John Paxson said Boylan was let go during a morning meeting at the Bulls’ practice facility. Boylan left without commenting.

“It really just came down to the fact that I think we need the option to look at things differently,” Paxson said. “I want to now be able to explore candidates and listen to different philosophies on how to (use) our personnel.”

The firing was the first move of what figures to be a busy offseason for a team that finished 11th in the Eastern Conference just one season after reaching the second round of the playoffs

Bucks firing Krystkowiak:

Quote

MILWAUKEE (AP)—The Milwaukee Bucks have fired Larry Krystkowiak after his first full season as an NBA head coach.

“Larry and I met this morning, and came to the decision that he would not return,” new Bucks general manager John Hammond said Thursday.

The move has been expected since Larry Harris was dismissed as general manager last month. Bucks owner and U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl hired Hammond to replace Harris, and Hammond had promised to quickly deal with the coaching situation and make it a top priority.

Reached by The Journal Times of Racine, Krystkowiak said, “I am not the coach anymore. I am going to sit at home the next couple of days and decompress.”

do you blame him for his "whacky" rotations? when the starters or so called stars aint pulling there weight then too rite they should switch up the rotation. the fact of the matter is the players and the players who should be stepping up (i.e. deng and gordon the two guys who refused the extention) didnt so there aint shit a coach can do, make that 2 coaches lol. even through the first 30 games when the roation was solid they were playing well below par.

itl be interesting to c what kind of deals gordon and deng get this summer, there value has dropped.

I don't think the rotations were ever solid...

PG Kirk Hinrich
SG Ben Gordon
SF Luol Deng
PF Tyrus Thomas
C Ben Wallace

this shoulda been the starting 5 for 82 games. they woulda' easily made the playoffs in the east.
