One contrast between Fred Hoiberg and Tom Thibodeau got was established immediately at media day last week. One year after Thibodeau openly bristled at management-imposed minutes restrictions, Hoiberg casually mentioned the greater importance of having Pau Gasol fresh for the Oct. 27 season opener than taking contact early in training camp after a busy summer of international play. That's not to say either approach is wrong. Thibodeau became the fastest coach in NBA history to 100 regular-season victories and could never fully be judged by postseason failures because of widespread injuries. It's merely to say it's definitely a different era. "There are a lot of differences," veteran guard Kirk Hinrich said. "Fred's really calm. He's a very good teacher, makes his points. It's been a very enjoyable camp." Read article http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...-thibodeau-bulls-spt-1005-20151004-story.html
If I was king, the media would have one week to ask the players to compare Hoiberg and Thibodeau. After that, verboten.
