Bulls Bosses Still Have No Clue What to Do About Vinny Del Negro

Filed under: Bulls, NBA Rumors, NBA Coaches

Last week, Vinny Del Negro seemed emboldened by rumors of his imminent demise, responding to allegations his bosses were ready to dismiss the coach with laughter. Del Negro told the media that in his daily talks with Bulls management (John Paxson and Gar Forman) he had received full confidence he'd keep his job all year.



Well, Forman, who has been hard to find of late, finally spoke to reporters before Chicago's Tuesday night game against Indiana. I have a feeling Del Negro feels substantially less confident in his Chicago future after reading what Forman had to say.



According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, when asked if Del Negro will soon be fired because of the team's disappointing performance, Forman said that "Vinny is our coach" and that management is "exploring all options to get better" and so on. Not once did Forman say Del Negro will be the coach for the foreseeable future, or did he offer a vote of confidence. And while Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski sees this as a betrayal of sorts by the management team, I see this as Forman having no clue what his bosses -- Paxson and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf -- will decide to do with Del Negro.
