The Chicago Bulls Announce Their New Head Coach!
After much speculation and anticipation, the Chicago Bulls hire....
Vinny Del Negro??????
Is this a joke? The Bulls have one of the youngest teams in the NBA, and that is about to get younger with their upcoming #1 pick in the draft. So what does John Paxson do?
Hire a coach with--literally--no coaching experience. Literally. None. He's the Suns Assistant GM right now. He was a VP of Player Development. Before that: TV announcer.
So this should go really well, in other words.
The only thing in the Tribune's article that even caught anything remotely approaching "interest" was the following paragraph:
Sweet. I guess it fits two of the things that are listed in the "Job Requirements" section of the Monster.com job posting for being a head coach in the NBA:
1. Father must have played for a historically great college program.
2. Must be born in Springfield, Mass.
When you look at it that way, I guess the pool of people to pick for a head coaching spot probably is pretty small. Great hire, Johnny!
Ugg.
On a totally unrelated note, the new Apple iPhone is out. It looks incredibly sweet, and is now only $199. And they're going to put out an all-white version, which will be even more badass.
