here's what chicago should do...fire skiles.
do you think its his fault they're losing?
no...it's not his fault. but i think at some point, all coaches have a certain shelf life. and in skiles case, it's after a few years. we saw it with him in pheonix as well where he stepped down admitting exactly that. and in their situation, their players have shown that they can win 45-50 games and even win in the playoffs at their young age. so it may be time for a new voice to be heard in their lockerroom.
in terms of x's and o's, alot of bulls fans are not big skiles supporters. they don't feel he's calling the right plays or really helping individual player development. if that's the case, and i don't watch them on a daily basis, then that team needs a teacher as well as a disciplinarian to coach (you know who...or someone in that mold). skiles got schooled by flip in the 2nd round last year. skiles did not make adjustments until game 4 (playing tyrus more) which lead to the bulls only 2 victories.
but i will also say this - i don't think it should happen right now b/c deng has missed the last 3 games so he doesn't have his best player. but eventually, they will go as far as they can with skiles (similar to detroit w/ carlisle) so they will have to replace him.
