Bernie Bickerstaff interviewed for a position on Vinny Del Negro's Staff

Bernie Bickerstaff interviewed for a position on Vinny Del Negro's first coaching staff Monday. Recently ousted from the Bobcats' organization, Bickerstaff owns a career head-coaching mark of 414-512 in stints with the Sonics, Nuggets, Washington Bullets/Wizards and Bobcats.

Bickerstaff followed interviews with former head coaches Bob Hill, Paul Westphal and Del Harris that took place last week. But with draft preparation dominating this week, it's unlikely the Bulls will announce anything official on assistant coaches this week.

Del Negro has talked to holdovers Pete Myers and Ron Adams, both of whom will remain in the organization if not on the bench. It's likely Paxson will find front-office roles for both.


I am very happy to see the Bulls interview former head coaches as assistants under Del Negro! Any of the four names mentioned would ad stability, and experience.
