Marshall Harris

He had more success than Wes Unsell Jr., certainly, as a head coach.

And the understanding that, okay, you have a guy now.

But I was never as...

concerned about the head coaching hire as i was about what are they going to do in the nba draft which is still ahead of us but i'm glad they have a coach going into the draft at least yeah he can be a part of the conversations whether it's picking out the players and what type of offense defense he wants to run so players that fit his scheme but this is a good step for the bulls they're doing things in order

You know, we had the sound coming into this from the owner, Michael Reisdorf, saying, I need you to pick the next head coach of the Bulls to Bryson Graham, which he did.

So like, that's the next thing.

Now they'll fill out the coaching staff.

Things are going in the right direction, I believe, for pretty much the entire city right now.

There's an upswell of feeling good.

I understand why Cubs fans might disagree with me a little bit on that principle, but you're still right there looking at a playoff spot.

It's not the Patrick Williams contract or the re-up?

I think the biggest thing for me in understanding Tiago Splitter is to realize, hey, I don't know much about him as a coach, but I do remember him very well as a player, as a guy who was a backup big on those teams in San Antonio specifically.

And because he's got, you know, obviously international experience, both as a person and a player, he's a guy who knows different facets of professional basketball.

And I think that's a positive thing when you're looking at how international this game has become of late.

You know...

this past weekend notwithstanding, where you see an American-born player, a Chicago high school legend, and Jalen Brunson lead a team to a championship, it's been a whole lot of international players doing a whole lot of damage the last few years.

Yeah, yeah.

Just look at the MVP race every year.

You've got Shea Gildas-Alexander.

You've got Jokic.
