Musselman as new Bulls assistant coach?

[JCM]

Eric Musselman is up for the Chicago Bulls assistant coaching job, according to sources. He just signed in Reno to coach NBDL.

Source believes he has a clause in contract that would allow him to leave Reno for Chicago.

I'd love Musselman as an assistant though there's some fear, like with the last group of Bulls assistants, that he might be angling for a head coach job.

He has a long relationship with Thibodeau though, so I think he'd be a good fit, especially since he's a somewhat reknown offensive genius type.

If he does have a good relationship with thibs then im all for it.

Plus he is a offensive guy that could help thibs with his offensive plays etc.

I don't think he has a long relationship with Thibodeau. Eric Musselman dad was his mentor so that's who your probably thinking of. I don't really see him angling for a job though since if he really wanted a job so badly he would of been working as assistant long before this.

I love this hire though as it gives a great offensive mind on the bench to go with the great defensive mind in Ron Adams. This is turning out to be a great coaching staff. Although I would have liked to keep Ociepka and have 4 assistants.
