i dont think that everyone that follows the nba knew that wiggins lavine and towns would all be nba stars with the t wolves when fred took the bulls job.....i mean, just using a calendar shows that.
Not a great clip for Fred...

Im no nba fan but the bulls are top 5 in prestige, he got 25m, his life was altered by his heart condition so he wanted to go asap. Nothing is bad or hard to understand about that.
That said, it's probably easier to coach in college because you control who you recruit. Unless Fred can tell them who to draft or sign he can't make players into something they're not.

agree with all, but I think fred didnt like recruiting, so Ive heard....prob from this board. Also, Im all about money grabs
Fred didn't like the groveling to 17 year olds. He liked finding talent and putting pieces together. That's why he'll be front office sooner rather than later.
NBA coaching. Hire. Fire. Hire. Fire. Rinse. Repeat.
Wolves are garbage and have been garbage for the past 10 years. And before that they only made it to the conference finals once. I keep hearing how these guys are studs but their record shows otherwise.
Delusional ISU fans thought this for some reason to help cope.
There is absolutely nothing easier about being a head coach in the NBA than NCAA.
Fred knew it was a drastically tougher and more stressful job in every way and he wanted it.
Coach of the Year winners frequently get fired within 2-3 years of the award. Even high turnover compared to other pro sports leagues.
youre right, but they have obvious players that are a few years from being superstars. Name players that were stars for Minnesota. Love, starbury, Garnett. They all left, biggest piece is keeping them and as a non twolves fan, I think those guys might stay to play with each other.
There was something at one time about how an NBA coaches job is to coach and gameplan, there isn't he bs that college coaches have to do and that appealed to Fred.
well Isiah had the east coast funk dunk.....you cant defend that. Same with me and my brother who had bulls season tics under the basket forever (post jordan), i went for hoiberg and whenever they played the lakers.
It really sucks that we all pretty much called this. I'm sure he will coach another year or two, maybe lose in the first round of the playoffs a couple times, and then move onto front office work, eventually becoming a GM. This can't be good for his health.
my biggest issue, and this is dumb, i think of fred as a friend. Obviously we arent, but when I think of butler talking crap, rhondo etc. I want to fight them. I would not win, but still, forever true. I hate the thought of bad things happening to freddy,.
I've wondered about health too. Let's say he really does loath recruiting, assistants can help recruit, assistants can't coach a 100-ish game season and handle the rabid press in Chicago for you. I think he made the jump in spite of health reasons, not because of them. If he moves to GM or assistant GM somewhere it still wouldn't necessarily be for health reasons, even if it is what's best for his health.
Bulls fans killing Fred on Twitter. Complaining about his "new offense" where Butler and Wade dribble around and take contested fadeaways. Lol sounds familiar, can't quite place where I have heard similar things . . .
I'm going to be mad if Fred like, say, goes to Duke to replace Coach K.
And wins like five national championships after doing it.
