If you have been waiting to hear news on a replacement coach for the Chicago Bulls, the team officially announced on Tuesday that Billy Donovan would become the 24th head coach in team history after firing Jim Boylen in August.<\/p>\n

Billy Donovan, who has spent the past five seasons as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, is transitioning to the Chicago Bulls after leading his previous team to the playoffs in all five seasons. He has a reputation of knowing what he’s doing on a sideline, which prior to 2020 was not a prerequisite to becoming the head coach of the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n
