My favorite teams
If you think NO players were in favor of Thibs leaving, you are fooling yourself. Players went to the FO and complained at times about Thibs. And yes, they did quit on Thibs, the fans, and the organization last year.
Other than the usual bitching, I do not believe that there was anything like a player revolt or whatever. I believe that Gar/Pax wanted Thibs out for awhile but Reinny wouldn't do it. So they basically hung Thibs out to dry by their refusal to improve the team with players that Thibs wanted and finally wore Reinny down. It is as clear as a bell. The true leaders of the team....Noah, Gibson, and Butler knew hard work got them to where they were as players and owed a lot of their success to Thibs. They also saw the shit that Gar/Pax laid on Thibs and ultimately their own selves and noone can tell me that those three guys didn't resent it when he got fired particularly when their "solution" was to get a weak ass head coach to replace him.
Now the soap opera will continue as Reinny stumbles and bumbles his way to deciding what to do as he always does. Meanwhile Bulls fans will continue to get it in the shorts as the team sinks to the bottom of the league.
