The Denver Nuggets lead assistant coach Wes Unseld Jr. was reportedly a frontrunner to get the Chicago Bulls job prior to Billy Donovan coming available.
Back on Sep. 22, the Chicago Bulls had the hiring of former Oklahoma City Thunder and Florida Gators hoops head coach Billy Donovan announced as their replacement for former head coach Jim Boylen. Donovan seems like a much better head coach for this Bulls rebuild heading into its fourth year than Boylen was.
It looked like the Bulls at one point were going to have a lengthy process for their coaching search.
