Assistant Coaches

Holdovers May Stay
Bulls assistant coaches Ron Adams, Pete Myers and Mike Wilhelm are all holdovers
from last season's staff. Though it is unclear whether Vinny Del Negro will inherit 
the trio, GM John Paxson has promised Myers and Adams they will be part of the 
organization if they want to remain.
The name of Bill Cartwright could resurface. Currently an assistant with the New 
Jersey Nets, Cartwright reportedly was interested in rejoining the Bulls' staff as an 
assistant if Paxson settled on an inexperienced coach. -- Chicago Sun-Times

There has been the rumor that Bob Hill will be the lead assistant. But are there any good assistants out there that would like to be part of a different team? I would like the idea of getting a former great big man as an assistant coach so he could help out our big men, Tyrus in particular with their post of moves and defense. Just like how Kareem Abdul Jabar helped Andrew Bynum out.

I don't know who could be available for this, but I think if the Bulls did something like this it would help Tyrus develop a lot quicker.

Because the Bulls aren't running a reunion

If Pippen wants to coach, then get his ass over from whatever country he is playing ball in and call Jerry for an interview, don’t just expect it to be handed to you. The Bulls need to go after Alvin Gentry in Phoenix, he was aligned with D’Antoni but didn’t follow him to NY, maybe the Bulls can lure him here, guy is a very seasoned NBA coach.

Scottie Pippen

Remember the 93 94 season Mike left we only had Scottie… everyone at ABC Sports threw their Bulls jerseys out ect. Scottie didnt let that team down he went for 22pts 5.6ass 8.7reb this guy didnt quit on the Chicago Bulls and this guy was a genious on the floor who inspired everyone to play harder, tougher, smarter. He really wants to coach this team and I dont think Pax is even trying to listen. This is sad I mean I know we want top line, experienced coaches but give him a shot atleast as an assistant.
