Billy has been here for 4 seasons. Whether Boylen was the coach initially doesn't seem meaningful to me at this point.step wrote:Stratmaster wrote:Perfect. It's everyone's fault except Billy.Jcool0 wrote:

Well it appears Cheeks may be stepping away on his own volition? He is 67 too.Assistant coach Maurice Cheeks will also move off his full-time role on the bench but will shift elsewhere in the organization, a move prompted solely by Cheeks' decision.Cheeks, 67, is a Chicago native and has been with the Bulls since 2020. He's been an NBA coach since 1993. He's been on Donovan's staff since their shared Thunder days in 2015, before Cheeks' head coaching stints with the 76ers and the Pistons.
Fleming was also a carry over from Boylen... so that's not a surprise:Fleming, 54, was initially hired by the Bulls to be the lead assistant coach on Jim Boylen's staff in 2019. The Bulls retained his services following the hiring of Donovan as the head coach. Fleming also had an "extremely close relationship" with Coby White, who was assigned to Fleming as an assistant during his rookie year, per Johnson.
But I don't mean to make too much of the assistant changes. Billy just should have gone with them.
