If you don't get it...
People that have money deserve compassion just as much as you for losing something they've worked hard for too.
It's basic humanity.

I’m not saying to tell us exactly which coach he wants to hire or to say Boylen sucks but at least something more than this. He sounded like a preprogrammed robot using the same words. Again Eversley will probably be dealing with the media more so I’m guessing he’s more smooth with answering questions to the media.DuckIII wrote:Red8911 wrote:Every gm doesn’t give much away lol.

Kept saying basketball reasons on why he fired Boylen but would of been nice if he went a bit into detail. Say something since it’s a press conference about Boylens firing. Then didn’t like how he kept using the word “process”, I hate that word and all it means is he’s buying time. Must of used that word like 20x. Also AK doesn’t seem great with talking to the media, hopefully Eversley will be better with that.
Using the word “process” can mean buying time. But it can also mean “go suck eggs, I’m not telling you squat.” I think this is the latter.
One thing has been clear so far under AK, and that is the media isn’t being fed anything. At least not yet. And frankly, I’m one of those fans who hopes it stays that way. I don’t believe I’m entitled to anything from management beyond competence.

KC continues to show he really isn't very good at getting insider information for us fans. He was reporting Boylen was looking like he was staying. He's a solid reporter, but he doesn't break any real news for us diehard fans.
Yea this is about the 5th time woj or shams has made kc look clueless to bulls affairs and he supposed to be the insider. This not the worst though the worst was when kc reported deng wouldn't be traded and woj bombs a deng trade like a day later lol
Woj and Shams make everyone look clueless. Those 2 get the first scoop about 99% of the time.

What is wrong with him? I thought that he did a good job, and itvwouldn't hurt to have a nab perimeter coach either.
For the record, I can't stand his commentator personality. I'm genuinely asking.

Actually, money has nothing to do with it but "basic humanity" does explain why I really wanted Boylen out.
Like, to give background, I've never really argued that strongly for firing a coach before. Del Negro was a bad coach, but he also got assaulted. I guess I wanted Fred gone, but I think he was basically a good guy, just not a good coach.
Boylen is plain and simple not a good guy in the way that Hoiberg is. He got his job by kneecapping Hoiberg and being a politician, and then started his run by publicly humiliating his players.
He acted like a boorish jerk to players, opponents, fans and the media, and apparently various other people within the Bulls organization. In this respect, his tenure here was very much like his tenure at Utah, which left that program in shambles. That is, it's not like it's just some isolated case where he got mad and did something dumb. There's a track record going back a long way of him, frankly, treating people badly, overstepping bounds, and being nasty, embarrassing, or both.
I mean, I don't wish him dead or anything, but he's not a guy we should spend much time feeling bad for either. Not a good coach, and not a good guy either.

Its really strange how just last week we had guys prepping the fan base for a another season of boylen then top of the morning without a inside scoop he is gone.

I like the quote- it makes me chuckle. And it was/is pretty much true.

OK, all the signs point to Boylen being a total Pr**k! Is that true? I don't know for sure, but I see a lot of smoke. If I knew it for a fact, I'd be jumping for joy dancing on his grave. But I don;t, so I wont.
Instead, I'll be "nice" and go with what Trm3 (and others) have said.
Good-bye Jimbo, you wont be missed!
