Scott Skiles: Former Bulls Coach, as of today

SEATTLE - The Chicago Bulls fired Scott Skiles.

Chicago Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations John Paxson today announced that Scott Skiles has been relieved of his duties as the team’s head coach.

In a statement released this morning, Paxson said: “This was a difficult decision to make, but one that was necessary at this time. Scott helped us in many ways during his time with the Bulls; most importantly, he helped this franchise get back to respectability. I am appreciative of his hard work and the imprint that he left on our team.”


So, did the conversation go something like this:
Paxson: Stop imprinting on this team.
Skiles: That's why you hired me.
Paxon: There once was a man named Chuck Knox... nevermind, pack your knives.

Good coaches get fired, it happens.
