吉姆·博伊伦是芝加哥公牛队的教练。这仍然是他的工作，他有老板和组织的老警卫的支持。
这很可能不足以让他继续工作，特别是公牛队现在正式不在前往奥兰多重新开始NBA赛季的22支球队之列。联盟中大多数人都认为博伊伦被解雇只是个时间问题（他在两个赛季中有0.317%的胜率），而由阿尔图拉斯·卡尔尼索娃领导的新管理团队有望引进自己的球员。当卡尼索娃和通用汽车的马克埃弗斯利会见球员时，几个关键的球员把博伊伦交给了管理层，这是卡尼索娃试图改变组织内部不和的迹象。
据《芝加哥太阳时报》的杰伊·考利报道，前球员、现任76人队助理教练伊姆·尤多卡可能是领跑者。
有消息人士告诉《太阳时报》，76人队助理教练尤多卡是成为公牛队新教练的领跑者，猛龙队助理教练和前公牛队助理教练阿德里安·格里芬也在照片中。
尤多卡有着七年的NBA打球生涯，加上他曾在西班牙打球，之后在圣安东尼奥的波波维奇手下成为助理教练。上个休赛期，他在布雷特·布朗（从马刺执教名单中脱颖而出）的带领下跳进了费城76人队的替补席。博伊伦也是波波维奇教练树的成员。
没有被邀请到奥兰多的球队正在考虑进行“迷你训练营”式的训练，也许在8月份会有对抗对方的比赛/展览，所以他们的球员不会从3月到12月不参加比赛。虽然公牛队没有在一个紧的时间线上做出教练的决定，但如果他们引进了一个新的球员，他们会希望这个人在夏季训练营之前到位。

Rumor: Ime Udoka frontrunner to become Bulls new coach
原文：
Jim Boylen is the coach of the Chicago Bulls. It’s still his job and he has the backing of the owner and old-guard part of the organization.
That is very likely not enough to keep him in the job much longer, especially with the Bulls now officially not among the 22 teams headed to Orlando to restart the NBA season. Most around the league expect it’s just a matter of time until Boylen is let go (he has a .317 winning percentage across two seasons), with the new management team led by Arturas Karnisovas expected to bring in their own guy. When Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley met with players, a few key ones ripped Boylen to management, a sign of the discord Karnisovas is trying to change within the organization.
Former player and current 76ers assistant coach Ime Udoka may be the frontrunner, reports Jay Cowley at the Chicago Sun-Times.
Sources have told the Sun-Times that 76ers assistant Ime Udoka is the front-runner to become the Bullsâ new coach, with Raptors assistant â and former Bulls assistant â Adrian Griffin also in the picture.
Udoka had a seven-year NBA playing career, plus he played in Spain, then after his playing days became an assistant coach under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. Last offseason he jumped to the bench of the Philadelphia 76ers under Brett Brown (who came out of the Spurs coaching tree). Boylen is also a member of the Popovich coaching tree.
Teams not invited to Orlando are looking at conducting “mini-camp” style workouts and maybe having scrimmages/exhibitions against each other in August, so their players don’t go from March to December without playing in games. While the Bulls are not on a tight timeline to make a coaching decision, if they are bringing in someone new they would want that person in place before that summer training camp.
