Hooped Up

Okay this Doug Collins back in Chicago thing has officially blown over. The Chicago Bulls have annoced they have hired Vinnie Del Negro as their new head coach beating Dwayne Casey out who was also at the top of the Bulls list.

The Bulls have offered their head coaching job to Vinny Del Negro, which the Suns’ assistant general manager is prepared to accept, sources said Monday.

A deal still needs to be finalized, but a news conference officially announcing Del Negro as the 17th coach in franchise history is expected this week.

Del Negro, who has no previous coaching experience, first interviewed for the job on Thursday and quickly shot ahead of Kings assistant Chuck Person and former Minnesota coach Dwane Casey.

I’m glad that the recycling of coaches has slowed down and a few new guys are getting a shot at coaching in the NBA.  Now can the Bulls get Dwayne Wade?
