Photo: Coach Doug Collins will be manning the Chicago Bulls bench this coming season Offseason movements are not only limited to players but coaches as well. In most cases, coaches are pinned down for their team’s debacles. If a team does not win, coaches get the blame. They’re always made the scapegoats why their team is losing. Probably management feels that coaches are ...

This will be the second go round for Collins as the Bulls ...

The Chicago Bulls went with Doug Collins, who most recently coached Michael Jordan, only when he was in Washington. It’s an interesting move for Chicago, who I personally thought were going to go after a younger coach, someone who was maybe unproven. Collins has a 332-287 career record, and was fired from the Bulls in 1989. After his firing, the hired Phil Jackson, had Michael Jordan ...

Why does this have disaster written all over it? The last time Doug Collins - apparently, he’s going to coach the motley Bulls - drafted a No. 1 pick, that man was Kwame Brown (fine, it was a joint effort with Michael Jordan). This next thing we’re going to tell you must be told in a whisper, because if we say it out loud, you won’t believe it. So put your ear to the screen. ...

Chicago Bulls Doug Collins will become the next Bulls head coach , according to a source. I think this is a great move for the Bulls.

He’s a demanding coach who enjoys imparting his knowledge upon ...

Collins, 56, coached the Bulls from 1986-89 and took the ...

Doug Collins’ strange coaching career continues. The TNT analyst (and a very good one, I might add) will be coming full circle with his new head coaching job with the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls were his first stop in what has been an on-again, off-again NBA coaching career. He navigated the ship of a Michael Jordan-led squad from 1986-89 (137-109) that reached the brink of the NBA ...

Waldini: Ok G-Nice, Realist, what's your reaction ? Doug Collins, who has coached the Bulls, Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons, will be hired as Chicago's new coach. G-Nice: First of all, I want the world to give Pax some credit. He's been mauled in the media this year, killing him for missing out on Pau and Garnett (he didn't miss out, by the way. Both deals were crazy complicated and

Not sure how we’re feeling about this. Yeah, Doug Collins has coached the Bulls in the past with solid success (he had a young MJ in the mix) but this still feels like it came out of nowhere. We know guys like to play it close to the vest, especially when they’re negotiating deals, but [...]

Just an amazing day yesterday. First, I was walking home from school listening to a tape of this new amazing song called “Waiting For A Star To Fall” by this group Boy Meets Girl on my Walkman. Then when I walked in the door, my mom surprised me with a new pair of Z. Cavaricci [...]
