Doug Collins, who was the Chicago Bulls' coach before they started winning titles, is returning to the team as a senior adviser.

Collins coached the team from 1986 to 1989, taking the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals in his final season. It was a shock that he was fired and replaced by Phil Jackson.

Jackson went on to become a legend, winning six titles with Chicago and five more with the Los Angeles Lakers. Collins, 66, also coached the Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, and most recently served as a television analyst for ESPN.
