For the first time since Scott Skiles in 2003 the Bulls have hired a coach with proven head coaching experience at the NBA level. A coach they’ll actually have to pay.

I wanted Unseld Jr. or Udoka. But Donovan, in theory, provides a level of assurance. He knows what he’s doing as a HC from the jump. He also has proven that he doesn’t suck. There will be no first year head coach learning experiences. Our core (or whatever the hell it is) can’t afford learning experiences after the Boylen shitshow. Aside from Coby, these dudes are at a make or break point in their careers so I understand how experience wins out.

Billy Donovan had a .608 winning percentage (243-157) over five seasons with the Thunder. That would be third on the Bulls' all-time list, trailing only Phil Jackson and Tom Thibodeau.
