Mullin's staff

This could take more time than we thought.  If Tibs is fired...the head coaching job could go to Pinckney.

I don't think they have Pinkney on their radar.  I think there was a lot of talk of Hoiberg being the runaway leader for the job.  I think Pinkney will head here, and he would be a great addition not only from coaching perspective but he can also really recruit.

I really doubt that. What are you basing this off? He is going to be a head coach somewhere at some point but that Bulls job is a very good job and I dont think Pinckney a guy on Tibs staff would get the nod.

If they get rib of Thibs, they are starting over with a brand new staff.

Gentry or Hoiberg.  Cal is dark horse.

I am hopeful Eddie joins the staff soon so that he can get involved with the 16 recruits but I guess the shoe needs to drop with Thibs first

I don't know if you saw me talk about it about a month ago, but the new headquarters in Baltimore is going to be amazing. 

Mullin looks like he can still run the floor no problem and drop 20

Come on Ed P.  Let's get this party started.  Good coach Tom is however I think players just started to tune him out!

Actually, the players played hard for Thib and liked playing for him. The front office simply has extreme contempt for him because they're not realistic about the role injuries and circumstance played during his run. Sometimes stuff happens, and a front office has to figure it out. If they don't, they're rolling the dice...and hoping to get lucky with next hire. It could backfire if injuries keep happening to key players.

Thibs is not without fault.  He runs his players into the ground.  Just like Kobe before he hurt his knee under D'Antoni, while its going on and they are not hurt, the players love it....then the injuries come.

Twitter conversation between Mark Jones of ESPN and Jeff Goodman:

Wouldn't be surprised if Fred Hoiberg retained Bulls Asst Coach Ed Pinckney. Hoiberg tried to hire him at Iowa St a few years ago.

MarkJonesESPN ‏@MarkJonesESPN  · 11 hours ago 
Bulls Asst Ed Pinckney was responsible for game planning on both ends of the court and is highly regarded league wide.Head coach material💯


Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN  · 11 hours ago 
@MarkJonesESPN Pinckney is terrific. Could also end up on Mullin's staff at St. John's.

Jeff Goodman ‏@GoodmanESPN  · 11 hours ago 
@AminESPN @MarkJonesESPN There has also been some chatter that he is looking at Mitch Ritchmond.

Hoiberg on Pinckney: "I've actually already met with a couple of assistants that are already here ... Ed was in Minnesota when I was there. I have a terrific relationship with Ed."

Wonder who our plan B is?

Pecora? 

@NYPost_Brazille: Chris Mullin also said he plans to hire an assistant coach before live july recruiting period. Said there are a few options. #sjubb

Thanks Paultz. Any idea who else is in the running besides Ed P?
