Collins, Bulls agree to move on Posted on June 6th
Doug Collins will not be returning for a second coaching stint with the Bulls.
Collins and team Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf mutually agreed during a Friday-afternoon phone conversation that the Bulls’ coaching search, now more than seven weeks old, would continue without Collins.
“I just knew over the last few days that Jerry was really struggling over whether or not to do this, and I didn’t want Jerry to have those struggles,” Collins told the Tribune. “I love him. And I didn’t want him feeling that kind of angst.
“This is absolutely mutual. When this first came about, there was a tremendous amount of excitement about this possibility. And I’m losing that. The feeling now is more, ‘Should I do this?’ Once I got to that point, it meant no. I always make decisions yes is yes, no is no and maybe is no.
