Wow, I so thought this was a joke thread.

This better be another sign that Vinny is hitting the road soon.

This job is too stressful for Paxson. JR should have just let him go when he wanted to. No wonder Doug Collins couldn't handle this job, he probably would have expired on the sidelines.

I wasn't really able to keep up with the more recent controversy about management/Del Negro communication about Noah's minutes. Could this prior incident as reported by Wojnarowski be the reason VDN was so adamant about limiting Noah's minutes against NJ?

If Paxson wants to keep Noah's minutes under control, why doesn't he step up and become the **** coach!

This makes it much harder to blame Vinny for the Nets loss

I guess this is the part where people feel sorry for Vinny.

I too haven't been following the whole limiting Noah's minutes thing, is it because they don't want to aggravate an injury or is it something unknown...

I like the preemptive playoff intensity, but let's save it for the game, fellas.

Nope, this is the part where people give Paxson a parade.

Sources said Del Negro did not retaliate, mostly out of fear the incident could be used to void his contract without pay or hurt future career opportunities elsewhere. The Bulls have dispatched lawyers to interview witnesses about the incident, sources said.


I kind of have to after reading this quote. Poor guy was basically defenseless to anything Paxson was gonna do physically.

Why cheer Paxson? He's the bonehead that hired Vinny.

He also had plenty of reason to fire him earlier in the year and chose not to.

I guess its better to just hold on to a bad coach and fight with him instead... Not sure how that helps team stability.

Well that explains why Del Negro didn't want to put Noah over the maximum minutes in the NJ loss.

'Sources said Paxson first grabbed a hold of Del Negro’s tie and seemingly tried to provoke him with two successive jabs into his chest. Paxson was even heard to angrily challenge Del Negro to a fight."
