Joe Cowley of the Chicago Suns-Times on 670 The Score:

"There is a perception problem, and when you come from the outside – like Arturas did and Marc Eversley have – you know what that perception problem is. Carlisle, the Dallas coach, has made it very clear the disdain the coaches association and a lot of coaches have for the Bulls and the practices they have toward coaches. The way they’ve treated them as commodities for more than three, four decades, the way they’ve fired guys on Christmas Eve. So, there is a perception problem that I think these guys want to change coming in now to this that the old regime didn’t care about nor did they maybe even see fully.

It’s twofold. They’re buying time because they have time to buy, but also I think it’s also a perception thing that they’re looking to change.

As long as Jerry Reinsdorf sits in that powerful chair and he’s allowed executives to treat managers and coaches like this – look, everyone thinks players talk. Coaches talk, too. This place – in the Bulls and the Advocate Center – does not have a good reputation with coaches."

Poor thing.

Reminds me of thibs being fired 5 years ago. That man became the most successful coach in the team since the mj days.

It is understandable. I have heard Rick Carlisle as head of the coaches' association has been advising people to stay away from the Bulls.

They also have a perception issue with players, as Wade and KG have pointed to before.

Karnisovas has a good reputation so I hope the Bulls can turn this around but it will take a while and good work to overcome an impression that has been built over such a long period.
