The Chicago Bulls have agreed on a contract with current Boston Celtics assistant coach and defensive guru Tom Thibodeau according to a source from ESPNChicago.com, this coming off of season where the Bulls fired head coach Vinny Del Negro after consecutive playoff appearances. Now while it seemed that Bulls management were looking for experience, they could not turn down the resume that Thibodeau has. I personally like the move because Thibodeau is known around the league as a basketball genius and a workhorse. Plus, I think having a coach before the infamous July 1 start of free agency helps them land one of those big named stars.
