Bulls fire Del Negro
Basketball Betting Lines
05/04/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls have fired head coach Vinny
Del Negro and will discuss the move at a noon (et) news conference on Tuesday.
Bulls general manager Gar Forman will meet the media at the Berto Center to
address the coaching change.
Del Negro, who had one season and about $2 million remaining on his contract,
has had a turbulent two years with the Bulls, compiling an 82-82 regular
season record to go with a 4-8 postseason mark. The Bulls finished with a
41-41 mark in each season and were ousted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the
first round of the 2009-10 campaign.
The move is reportedly not related to Del Negro's altercation with senior vice
president John Paxson on March 30. Reports surfaced that the two had a shoving
match and the relationship between them had soured as the season went on.
Prior to his coaching stint with Chicago, Del Negro spent 13 seasons in the
NBA with Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Phoenix and Golden State,
averaging 9.1 points and 3.2 assists in 771 career regular season games. He
also spent parts of three seasons playing in Italy.
He had no previous coaching experience before being hired by the Bulls. Before
being hired, Del Negro was the assistant general manager for the Phoenix Suns.
He also served as the Suns' director of player personnel after a stint as a
radio analyst.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
