Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau still does not have a contract extension on the original one he signed two years ago.
Mat's not worried, and fully expects Thibs to be roaming the Bulls sidelines for years to come.
The reason behind Mat's confidence is simple. The Bulls are an elite coaching job in the NBA. This is not some mid major school coach who can get wooed by UK. Thibs has it made in the Windy City.
He's got one of the best players in the league. He's got a fan base that supports the team by selling out the building night in and night out. And he has an owner and front office who support his style and what he's trying to do.
Mat wonders what more a coach can ask for?
Usually when people deny being upset about contracts Mat scoffs and writes them off as liars. But in this case, he truly believes Tom Thibodeau. There is no rush to sign a deal.
Thibs was the Coach of the Year two years ago and was snubbed the award this year. He's coming into a season where a lot is expected, but without Rose, he basically has a free pass to have a tough year.
It's a dream scenario for any coach. Top notch franchise, top notch players, top notch facilities (and getting better), and a city that loves the team.
When they say they haven't had time to sit down and talk contracts. Mat believes it. When the time comes that it's truly necessary to re-up, Mat's sure the Bulls and Thibs will reach a fair deal.
