The Chicago Bulls new coach Boylen has decided to stick to a “traditional” and “old-school” style of coaching. Most players are unhappy with the coach for several different reasons and have threatened to skip practices in attempt to boycott the new coach.

Whether you side with Boylen or the players, the Bulls management has decided to stay on the side of the new coach. The management of the club feels that it is important that Jim Boylen continues to push harder and coach more in order to make progress.

The players on the other hand are upset because of the coach. They are mad at Boylen for their 56-point loss to Boston: for exhausting two-hour practices, for subbing five players at once, for scheduling a practice following a back-to-back and for guilting players publicly for their lack of toughness and conditioning. The players didn’t revolt, but their frustration led to a players-only meeting and then a meeting with players and coaches. The team is trying to get on the same page and start succeed together.
