Thrill, my point about Bulls hiring coaches is that they typically do not want to spend what it takes to hire whom might be perceived as an elite coach. Thus they have tended to hire guys who are getting their first head coach job. Skiles was the only coach who had head coaching experience, and I believe he had been out of coaching for 2 years when the Bulls picked him.
And the Bulls' flirtation with Doug Collins 2 years ago, as well as with D'antoni, ended when they started to kick salary figures around.
So it's not so much about the GM's ability to pick coaches (though they haven't necessarily found the best guys out of the low-end/ inexpensive coach prospect pool) as their budget constraints. That's all I'm saying.

That's sweet. Personally, I'd like an Andrew Toney.gif.
