Hoiberg told reporters nothing has been finalized with the Bulls regarding their head coaching vacancy.
He has been the favorite to take the job previously held by Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last week. Hoiberg had been the frontrunner for weeks, even before Thibodeau’s dismissal.
Hoiberg said he is going to finalize things. Doesn't mention Bulls specifically
