Bulls Get Their Man In Thibodeau

The Chicago Bulls have their man as they have pried away Tom Thibodeau, a now former assistant coach to current NBA championship finalist, the Boston Celtics. Although signing as the new head coach of the legendary Bulls franchise, the Celtics and Bulls have agreed that Thibodeau can remain on the Celtics coaching staff for the remainder of the NBA finals. After the finals are over, Thibodeau will become the next head coach of the Bulls, whom have gone from one of the most dominant teams in the 90s, under current Lakers bench boss Phil Jackson, to one of the more dysfunctional franchises in recent years.

NBA finals betting odds should not be swayed towards the Lakers as a result of Thibodeau becoming the new Bulls coach. Instead, rather, they should sway in favor of the Celtics, as Thibodeau looks to guide the storied franchise to their second NBA title in the last three years.

Fans betting on a stronger Bulls team for the 2010-2011 season, should know that Thibodeau will bring two essential factors to a Bulls team which at the best of times has lacked direction. The two factors he brings, is that he is a player’s coach, and has a well rounded strategy. Throughout his tenure in Boston, Thibodeau has been responsible for the defensive side of the ball, turning the team into perhaps the most dominant defensive squad in the entire NBA.

However, as a player’s coach, Thibodeau has been inspirational to his players, as his relentless work effort has rubbed off on the team and made each player’s individual game better overall. Further such strong work ethic being infectious on a championship caliber team such as the Celtics, should be just as motivational to a young Bulls squad.
