Tom Thibodeau would have never done this.
Moments after the Blackhawks defeated the Lightning in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, new Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg posted this tweet:

The response from Chicago fans was giddy:

Hoiberg, who was at Game 4, received a similar response from Hawks fan when he was announced at the United Center.

Can we call it, “Hoi-puck?”
Update:
Thibs was at the 3OT game against the Bruins in 2013, but he left after regulation. (A fan told me he was with "some dimes.")
