Report: Suns' assistant Vinny Del Negro to take over as Bulls' coach
The Bulls have chosen Vinny Del Negro to be their new head coach, according
to league sources. The deal should be finalized within the next 24 hours.
Del Negro was a late arrival to the search process and has no formal coaching
experience. He spent last season as an assistant to Phoenix Suns general
manager Steve Kerr. Prior to that, he was a broadcaster for the Suns and
San Antonio Spurs.
Though never officially an NBA coach, Del Negro has a history of working
directly with players and will be expected to hire experienced assistants
to fill his staff. He impressed Bulls general manager John Paxson during a
two-day visit to Deerfield last week.
Though his name surfaced in recent days as a leading candidate, Del Negro is
a surprising choice for the job. The Springfield, Mass., native beat out
former Minnesota coach Dwane Casey and Sacramento assistant Chuck Person.
The Bulls also bypassed ex-Detroit coach Flip Saunders, who has been to the
conference finals four times in the last five years, and former Dallas coach
Avery Johnson, who has the best winning percentage in league history.
Paxson also could have waited for the NBA Finals to end and taken a closer
look at Boston assistant Tom Thibodeau, who helped turn the Celtics into
the league's top defensive team.
Del Negro, 41, spent 12 seasons playing point guard for five NBA teams, most-
ly with the Spurs. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.2 assists over his career.
Del Negro also logged three seasons in the Italian league and was once a
teammate of former Bulls star Toni Kukoc with Benetton Treviso.
The Bulls' coaching position has been vacant since interim coach Jim Boylan
was dismissed on April 17.
