The Chicago Bulls struggled in the post season and was unable to make it to the NBA Finals. Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. “Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture. To ensure that the Chicago Bulls can continue to grow and succeed, we have decided that a change in the head coaching position is required. Days like today are difficult, but necessary for us to achieve our goals and fulfill our commitments to our fans. I appreciate the contributions that Tom Thibodeau made to the Bulls organization. I have always respected his love of the game and wish him well in the future.”
Bulls fan President Barack Obama chimed in on Twitter, “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.”
