A team source told the Sun-Times on Saturday that Boylen has not only received a bump in pay since he took over from Fred Hoiberg on Dec. 3, but that bump includes him receiving “a contract beyond this year.’’

The source was asked if the contract went past next season, and did not comment, but it was later confirmed that it was just through 2019-20 for now.

Instead, the players subjected to Boylen’s coaching methods were jumping ship, as though it were a burning, sinking freighter, a third of the team leaving the program, looking for some other place to play, some other coach for whom to play for.

Those Utah players from seven and eight years ago acted and sounded a lot like the Chicago Bulls players act and sound now, after Boylen took over as head coach following the recent firing of Fred Hoiberg.

Just did some research and this is what popped up:

At Utah, he had a losing record both seasons (13-18 and 14 and 17).

They had a mass mutiny... a real mutiny, at Utah. A full one third of all the players left the school when Boylen was the head coach. THAT is unheard of, to have that many players transfer out of a program like that. If that wasn't a major red flag, what is?
