Bulls Oust Del Negro

The Chicago Bulls have fired head coach Vinny Del Negro after a long tenuous season.



Del Negro, caught up in accusations of fights and disagreements with the GM John Paxson has felt the move coming for some time although he still has a year remaining on his deal and is due to be paid $2 million in this last year. Del Negro did not do a bad job in Chicago,he just caught the ire of the GM and most of the time it's all over at that point. Although endorsed by various Bulls players the front office had enough and handed the coach his pink slip. Stay tuned for more on this breaking news!
