After years of front office and coaching disarray, Chicago Bulls president and chief operating officer Michael Reinsdorf hired Arturas Karnisovas to reshape his basketball operations and restore playoff contention. So far, the results are remarkable. Years of organizational missteps and mistrust faded fast, replaced with a fully functional first-place franchise.
"When we hired Arturas, I was confident that he would help turn things around, but I can't say I thought it would be this quickly," Reinsdorf told ESPN. "There are no issues. There's no drama. Just everyone wanting to get to the next level. It's a good feeling.
