OT: Bulls Fire Scott Skiles

Quote:
Scott Skiles was fired Monday as coach of the Chicago Bulls, who have one of the worst records in the Eastern Conference.
The underachieving Bulls (9-16) have lost three of their last four and were booed throughout by the home crowd during Saturday night's 116-98 loss to the Houston Rockets.
"This was a difficult decision to make, but one that was necessary at this time," Bulls general manager John Paxson said in a release. "Scott helped us in many ways during his time with the Bulls; most importantly, he helped this franchise get back to respectability. I am appreciative of his hard work and the imprint that he left on our team."
The Bulls didn't immediately announce a replacement for Skiles, who went 165-172 after replacing Bill Cartwright in November 2003.
Chicago is in a familiar spot with this season's slow start.
The Bulls dropped their first nine in 2004-05 and were 4-15 before going on a surge that led to 47 wins and their first playoff appearance since the Michael Jordan era. They needed a late surge the next season to make it to the playoffs, winning 12 of their final 14 regular-season games to finish with 41 wins.

They fire Skiles but we can't get rid of Isiah!

Re: OT: Bulls Fire Scott Skiles

I always knew that since the departure of Jordan the Chicago Bulls have become a classless, tastelss second rate (or worse) organization, and as much hate as I have for Scott Skiles as a Knicks fan, this was a very tasteless move by Paxson. He should be ashamed of himself for firing a man on Christmas Eve.

Re: OT: Bulls Fire Scott Skiles

bad firing ,

skiles is a good coach , but he has a team full of holes , primarily no inside scoring whatsoever and his only scoring comes via jumpshots , and sometimes they go in and sometimes they dont.

Re: OT: Bulls Fire Scott Skiles

It's maybe because Thomas is also the GM and he has no shame. lol.

I don't think it's a bad firing for Skiles. I think he is going to Miami at some point. South Beach, YEAH!

I think the Knicks have a lot of talents. Jeff Van Gundy anyone? I think he can get it done, again.
