First take probably do a 3 hour show crying why a black coach wasn't hired by the Bulls

It is an interesting hire for sure, I’ll take this direction over another NBA retread.

Worst kept "secret" ever. The guy is a good communicator, intelligent and obviously a good coach. He was always a guy you expected to become a coach - it's an added plus that he has a bit of experience upstairs. The whole Thibadeau drama is over. I think he was an excellent coach, but he couldn't get along. The Bulls underachieved this season and he definitely doesn't see the big picture much at all. This should be a departure from Skiles and Thibadeau. The Bulls clearly don't want that much ego in a head coach. Vinny was just over his head.

I'm withholding judgement for now but I will say this. The last guy we hired who was a former player with front office experience ended up being choked out by our VP of Bball Ops. Just saying... :shrug:

He can coach, and I doubt he'll have issues with Forman or Paxson. There might be a learning curve as far as coaching, but imo, the Bulls should have beaten the Cavs and lost to the Warriors. I don't know if the team left Tom, but they were really inconsistent all season. Fred has played for the Bulls, but he has a really good resume. He's not Tim Floyd. Assistants will be important and I'm sure that has been worked on for months.

So did Bill Cartwright... and Pete Myers... and Adrian Griffin :derbulls:
Even though Hoiberg looks like he could be a good coach, the overwhelming stench of Tim Floyd is all over this, and that concerns me a bit

Again, I am not that into this move, I've kinda been sold by various articles about Hoiberg on how he's different than Floyd or most college coaches.
But I still can't shake that the NBA has not really had a successful college coach in a long time. There's now three in the league with Brad Stevens, Donovan, and Hoiberg, so we'll see what happens.
It won't surprised me if Hoiberg fails hard. I'd be more surprised if he's hugely successful. I kind of expect a slightly more intelligent Vinny Del Negro though.

Oh c'mon, I'm not over the moon about this, but hiring Hoiberg is much different than hiring Floyd.

the Vinny situation was vague they make it sound like Pax bum rushed his office and started choking him loool
Vinny had to do or say something to incite him like that
it wasn't the most professional thing but it happens when tempers flair
