| Bulls have some serious issues at hand
ESPN - Who is Going to Fix the Culture of the Chicago Bulls? - TrueHoop By Henry Abbott Quote:
Rookie Joakim Noah was suspended in January after a verbal outburst at assistant coach Ron Adams in practice. Initially a one-game suspension, his teammates voted to extend it to two. A short time later, Noah and Ben Wallace exchanged words following a blowout loss to Orlando.
Tyrus Thomas, apparently unhappy with his playing time, skipped practice and was handed a two-game suspension last month.
Chris Duhon missed a March 9 shootaround after being spotted the night before in Durham, N.C., at the North Carolina-Duke game; he was fined, benched for one game and inactive for another.
Bulls officials were not happy with his reaction -- "I haven't been playing a lot anyway," he said. It was true. Duhon's minutes had been limited after Larry Hughes' arrival with Drew Gooden in the three-team deal that sent Wallace to Cleveland.
Another episode was coming, this one involving Andres Nocioni.
Nocioni blew up at Boylan after being lifted in the second quarter of a game against Indiana late last month and got sent to the locker room. Nocioni apologized two days later, another sorry episode in a sorry season for the Bulls.
| I would think that Paxson has to go as well as he was the architect of this mess. The Bulls should've gone after Hammond to try to clean up that mess. I wonder who they want to bring on as a coach? Perhaps Larry Brown?  |
