Whenever available coaches are mentioned, why isn’t Paul Silas mentioned? I think he would make a great coach for the Bulls.
Jamice Bassett, Bellwood
Paul’s a good guy and a tough guy and an interesting name. But it seems like he’s fallen into that category of “had his chance.” In his jobs he was regarded somewhat like Dave Cowens, who it also seems has had his chance. They were more the old-school tough guys who were somewhat intractable without a more current vision for the game. It seems to be held against them. It would help some of these guys if someone like P.J. Carlesimo, who is getting a second chance, was doing better.
