The only success the Bulls have had post-Michael Jordan was with Tom Thibodeau. Now, they have no use for either guy. Sensing a trend here.

Thibodeau, in five seasons, had his best player (Derrick Rose) available in only 47% of the Bulls' games, reg. season or postseason.

I think Tom Thibodeau is a great coach and I'd hire him in a heartbeat. I understand the criticism, but he's better than many NBA coaches.

.@apat246 @chicagobulls love thibs and think he did a great job. Sorry to see him go but expect he will be snatched up soon by another team.
