The Chicago Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeau agreed on a four-year contract extension, the team announced on Monday.
"This is where I wanted to be," Thibodeau said Monday during the Bulls' media day. The Bulls picked up Thibodeau's option for the 2012-13 season after last season. General manager Gar Forman repeatedly stated that it was the organization's intention to lock up Thibodeau for the long term, even though talks stalled earlier in the summer.

But a source told ESPNChicago.com that talks resumed in early September and have now led to an agreement.
Thibodeau, who won 100 games faster than any coach in NBA history, was hired two summers ago after serving as an assistant for the Boston Celtics under Doc Rivers. The Bulls have led the league in regular-season wins both years under Thibodeau, who won coach of the year honors in his first season and finished second last season.
Reports surfaced last season that Thibodeau was unhappy he did not have an extension secured. Forman then appeared on "The Carmen, Jurko & Harry Show" on ESPN 1000 and stated that talks had begun before last season and would resume after the season.

I'm glad this got done. With all the injuries the past couple seasons and him still getting us to be the #1 seed in the East the past couple of years Thibs deserved it.

This is really good news!

Under no circumstances could we have afforded to lose him in the next offseason.

Hella happy we secured him!

Breaking News: Tom Thibodeau injured and out for most of the season.


Oh wait...nevermind. Sorry, I'm just used to saying that after someone signs an extension with the Bulls. I forgot, that only happens to every Bulls player after they sign a big contract.
