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?

Noah is an idiot.

Let this be a lesson for all of us (yes I included me) who feel Saunders may have been able to fix all of this by not being such a wimp.

The drama that has unfolded in the wake of Scott "my way or the highway" Skiles has by far eclipsed any rumblings out of Detroit the past few years.

And it could have been us, dealing with this crap. Sometimes meaner isn't better.

Yeah, it is main belief here, that cruder, cruel and freqent fist user would fix our team's attitude problems. Beat them! punish them! Humiliate them!
