Hoiberg fired
Kind of shocking. I figured that they were all-in on him since he was a GarPax underling and Jerry is loyal to a fault.

They're naming Jim Boylen, currently the assistant head coach, to be the full time head coach, and his contract is for another year.

Re: Hoiberg fired
Had to happen... Hoiberg was Marc Trestman... no idea how to command a room or hold players accountable.
Boylen, the cynic in me thinks he got promoted because he's cheap. Still, he's got some more red-ass to him which I like in an NBA coach.

Re: Hoiberg fired
I don't think much of Hoiberg as a coach, but firing him smacks of someone trying to save their own skin, particularly because the team he was supposed to have this year has been on the floor for a grand total of 10 minutes.
Wake me when they decide to hold Forman and/or Paxson accountable for anything.
