Dude is 74 but really if you were going to have a coach mentor situation with a hoiberg loyalist why not Brown? He coaches a year or 2 slowly turning the reigns over to Otz. Hell of a recruiter. Kind of like it.

yeah it seems like it would be a way to turn a really ****** situation into one that might not be quite so ******. The people that want TJ can rest easy because Larry Brown is elderly and likely not to be around too long.
He was probably asked, but probably should have said nothing. Pollard basically confirmed that he hasn't talked to Fred, so it would have been easy for TJ to say he didn't know when Fred would be back.

Basically Chicago is saying that Fred is worth whatever pick they can get for Thibs. They don't like Thibs, Hoiberg will be met by a lukewarm fan base reception. I agree, does he really want to join that crapshow. I guess he would know best, but I don't think we will know anytime soon.

More and more you hear Thibs admirers around NBA say they fear Bulls determined to let all three open jobs get filled and then let Thibs go

My crazy theory: Tweet above is true. Pelicans, Magic jobs are filled. Hoiberg and Thibs coaching situations happen at the same time. Thibs is released. Hoiberg then decides to coach this years ISU team and bolt for the T-Wolves the next year. The T-Wolves have Flip coaching next year but hear from Thibs camp that he wants to go to Minnesota. Instead of waiting for Fred likely leaving next year, the T-Wolves hire Thibs as their next coach, preferring him over Fred. The Bulls hire someone else as they have no coach and were told by Fred he's going to the T-Wolves instead. Hoiberg decides to stay at Iowa State past next year as his 2 favorite NBA jobs are now closed.

The craziest part of your theory is believing the Marc Stein tweet to be true.
I'm just difficult.
I'm not calling for Fred to make a statement. I'm calling for him to quit if he has already decided to leave even if the Bulls job isn't open. I think that he is screwing with us by staying if the decision has already been made. If he hasn't decided, then he can keep quiet.
What about the quotes from Fred from a year ago about wanting to be at ISU a long time. I guess I figured Fred was a guy you could take at his word and the NBA talk was just that talk.
Guys I am going to close this thread for the purpose of keeping the board somewhat organized. Please see the daily thread for Wednesday, May 27 here.
