Del Negro: Is This A Bad Joke?
zonersports.com 6/9/2008 — Earlier KG had spoke of the preparedness of Dwane Casey. Casey has a ton of experience, both as a Head Coach and an assistant. You’d think he’d be the perfect guy to bring in to lead a young ballclub. Or what of Tom Thibadeau? Guess what? Vinny Del Negro isn’t going anywhere. Why not wait until the Finals are over to give him an interview? Wouldn’t that be due diligence?

Vinny Del Negro's Career in Pictures
idiotsonsports.blogspot.com 6/10/2008 — I have always been a huge fan of Vinny Del Negro. With the news that the Bulls -- after being spurned by Mike D'Antoni and his mustache -- will formally introduce Vinny and his classic 1980s haircut as their new head coach tomorrow, we thought it would be a good time to examine some of the classic looks of Vinny D over the years. We formally present to you Vinny's career in pictures.
Vinny Has Some Bevington In Him
zonersports.com 6/11/2008 — Certainly I am a man-child. Farting is still exceedingly funny to me. Also funny–people trying to use words they don’t really understand. Malaprops. And double entendres. Vinny Del Negro hit the trifecta there, both during his presser and a post-presser interview on WSCR-AM. He spoke about “presenting his package”, and not once but twice mentioned “predeceived notions”. This could be fun, Chicago.

...well, it's Del Negro. Does it strike anyone else as not the most ringing endorsement of Vinny D that his most recent former boss (Steve Kerr) hired Terry Porter over him? Still, I prefer an unknown quantity like Del Negro to a known (and seriously lacking) quantity like Collins. If I'm remembering Seven Seconds or Less correctly, Del Negro liked D'Antoni's style of play, but bemoaned his ...
