Say this for Bulls general manager John Paxson: he's starting to branch out from the list of usual suspects when it comes to coaching candidates. Of course, he and the organization kind of backed themselves into this corner by hemming and hawing over Mike D'Antoni and Doug Collins, both of whom became imaptient with the Bulls for various reasons.
I would have liked to see the Bulls go after Flip Saunders, seeing as they already waited this long, though it doesn't look like he's on their short list. The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that the next Bulls coach will be Dwayne Casey, Vinny Del Negro or Chuck Person. None of those names lights a fire under me. But if whoever takes over the reins gets the team back to the playoffs in a hurry, then all this probably will have been worth the wait.
