Vinny Del Negro Fired: Sources
Formal Announcement About Bulls Head Coach Expected Tuesday
CHICAGO (CBS) ?The Vinny Del Negro death watch has come to its inevitable conclusion.
Sources tell CBS 2 Del Negro has in fact been fired as the Bulls head coach after two seasons, following meetings with owner Jerry Reinsdorf and other front-office members over the past few days.
The official announcement will come Tuesday. Reinsdorf will have to pony up to pay Del Negro's replacement -- a proven bench boss who's actually coached before.
The injury-plagued Bulls barely made the playoffs this year and lost to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in five games.
Del Negro was involved in an altercation March 30 with executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson. Accounts vary as to what occurred, but it reportedly centered on a disagreement over the playing time of then-injured forward Joakim Noah.
CBS 2's Ryan Baker contributed to this report.
