Now this coaching carousel is like no other. Understandably, Vinny Del Negro doesn't come up when the NBA talks about desired coaches. He wasn't even a great player. What made the Bulls think he would be a great, if not good coach? However, this blog will not be about him. It will be more about Gar Foreman and the rest of the Bulls organization.
Right when the Bulls lost to the New Jersey Nets about a month ago, people knew Del Negro would be on the chopping block. Everyone knew that loss could, and probably will determine his future with the team. However, not a word was spoken from upper management. No one knew what they were doing. It took GM Foreman three weeks to come out and talk about the status of the team. To make things first, a couple of days before Foreman finally made a public appearance, the Bulls sent out a news release saying they want a new coach, yet don't have anyone in mind yet. What could did this do? Is that not the definition of throwing your coach under the bus? Yes, it is.
The GM and owners of any professional sports team need to be in sync with the rest of the organization, despite the how their season is going. Everyone needs to know what is going on within every department. That’s how it is with any business, being in sports or not. When you have constant communication and understanding with everyone, you have success. The Bulls need to learn this. If not, no matter whom the coach is, they won't be playing, but watching the postseason.
