In addition to nailing their third consecutive No. 7 in the NBA Draft, the Bulls will need to fill an assistant coaching opening.
Pete Myers reportedly resigned from the organization Thursday for personal reasons. He spent 16 years with the Bulls; three as a player and 13 as a scout and assistant coach.
Myers joined the coaching staff in December 2001 after Bill Cartwright replaced Tim Floyd as the team’s head coach. His first stint with the Bulls lasted until 2010.
Myers served as interim head coach for the Bulls on two occasions: For two games after Cartwright was fired in 2003 before the organization hired Scott Skiles, and one game after Skiles was fired before Jim Boylan finished the season in 2007.
