<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Paxson Refutes Report Chicago GM John Paxson said yesterday that, despite published speculation, the Bulls have not shown interest in Larry Brown as a possible coach in their future. In an interview yesterday with Chicago radio station WMVP-AM, Brown said he had not been contacted by Paxson. "I'm not going to speculate on any job when there's a coach involved,'' Brown said. "It's not fair. It's not appropriate. People know that I'm out there and people know what I'm capable of doing."</div> Philadelphia Daily News <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Paxson reiterated that interim coach Jim Boylan, whom Paxson promoted after firing Scott Skiles on Christmas Eve, has the job at least until the end of the season. "I have not begun the process" of evaluating coaching options for next season, Paxson said. # If the Bulls end up seeking a new coach this summer, common sense suggests that Paxson would consider candidates with a proven track record such as Brown, Doug Collins and Jeff Van Gundy. He'll also probably look at NBA assistants such as Detroit's Terry Porter and San Antonio's Mike Budenholzer. --</div> Arlington Heights Daily Herald
