Jim Boylen has accepted a job to join the Chicago Bulls as associate head coach.
Boylen was the second assistant on coach Gregg Popovich’s staff with the San Antonio Spurs behind Ettore Messina. Boylen was recently appointed to an assistant coaching role on the Canadian national team.
Boylen joined Popovich’s staff in 2013 after spending two years on Frank Vogel’s staff with the Indiana Pacers. Boylen spent four years (2007-11) as the head coach at the University of Utah, where he led the team to a Mountain West Conference title and an NCAA tournament.
Sucks losing him but it's a solid hire for the Bulls. Rumor has it we might be bringing back Jack Vaughn to replace him.
