시카고 불스 감독 빌리 도노반이 6시즌을 마친 후 사임했다. 팀이 화요일 발표한 바에 따르면 도노반은 새로운 프론트오피스와 함께 일하기보다는 물러나기로 선택했다.
회장 겸 최고경영자 마이클 라인스도르프는 시즌 말미에 농구운영 담당 부회장 아르투라스 카르니소바스와 단장 마크 에버슬리를 해임한 후 도노반이 계속 재직하기를 원한다는 의사를 분명히 했다. 그는 새로운 감독을 영입하고자 하는 사람은 "아마도 우리의 올바른 후보자가 아닐 것"이라고 말했다.
라인스도르프는 보도자료에서 "우리가 빌리의 복귀를 명확히 원했지만, 새로운 농구 운영 지도부를 영입하는 과정을 존중하는 것의 중요성에 대해 열린 대화를 나눴다"며 "함께 그 인물에게 조직을 구성할 자유를 주는 것이 모두에게 최선의 접근이라는 것에 상호 동의했다"고 말했다.
60세의 도노반은 코칭에 대한 열정이 여전히 있다고 지속적으로 말해왔다. 불스를 떠나기로 한 결정은 "소유권과 조직의 미래에 관해 신중하고 광범위한 일련의 논의 후" 내려진 것이라고 도노반은 이동을 발표한 팀 보도자료에서 말했다.
"나는 새로운 지도자가 자신이 적절하다고 생각하는 대로 스태프를 구성할 수 있도록 하는 것이 불스의 최선의 이익이라고 믿는다"고 그는 말했다.
도노반은 2020년 9월 불스가 영입했을 때 시장에서 최고의 후보였다. 카르니소바스와 에버슬리가 그들의 직책을 얻은 지 몇 개월 후였다.
세 명 모두가 영입된 이후 시카고의 유일한 플레이오프 진출은 2021-22 시즌에 이루어졌으며, 동부 콘퍼런스에서 46-36의 전적으로 6위를 기록했고 밀워키에게 1라운드에서 탈락했다. 불스는 이후 3년 동안 플레이인 토너먼트에서 졌다.
도노반은 지난 오프시즌에 계약 연장을 받았다. 라인스도르프는 카르니소바스와 에버슬리를 해임한 후 문제는 로스터 구성이었지 감독이 아니라고 말했다.
불스 구단주 제리 라인스도르프(마이클의 아버지)는 도노반이 조직에 가져온 "품위와 진정한 배려"에 찬사를 보냈다.
"우리는 빌리가 우리의 감독으로 계속하기를 원했다. 그것은 결코 의문의 대상이 아니었다"고 제리 라인스도르프는 말했다. "하지만 솔직한 대화를 통해 우리 모두는 새로운 농구 운영 수장에게 자신의 스태프를 구성할 권리를 주는 것이 이 프랜차이즈의 미래에 가장 중요하다는 데 동의했다. 그것이 빌리와 같은 사람이다. 그는 불스를 최우선으로 생각했다."
카르니소바스는 프랜차이즈 핵심 선수 영입 실패와 1순위 픽을 얻기 위해 재건을 거부한 것이 두드러졌다. 그는 마침내 올해 거래 마감일 전에 방향을 바꿔 니콜라 부체비치를 보스턴에, 케빈 휴에르터를 디트로이트에, 코비 화이트를 샬럿에, 시카고 출신 아요 도순무를 미네소타에 거래했다. 불스는 2라운드 드래프트 픽을 모았지만 반환으로 1라운드 픽을 받지 못했다.
시카고가 반환으로 받은 선수 중 한 명은 디트로이트의 제이든 아이비였다. 시카고는 그의 인스타그램 계정에 게시된 영상에서 종교에 대해 한 LGBTQ+ 혐오 발언 후 그를 방출했다.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan has resigned after six seasons, opting to step aside rather than work with a new front office, the team announced Tuesday.
President and CEO Michael Reinsdorf made it clear after firing executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley near the end of the season that he wanted Donovan to remain on the job. He said anyone who wanted to bring in a new coach was “probably not the right candidate for us.”
Now, it looks like whoever the Bulls hire to run their organization will get that opportunity.
“While we clearly wanted Billy to return as our head coach, we had open dialogue about the importance of respecting the process of bringing in new basketball operations leadership,” Reinsdorf said in a news release. “Together, we mutually agreed that giving that person the freedom to shape the organization was the best approach for everyone involved.”
The 60-year-old Donovan consistently has said he still has a passion for coaching. The decision to leave the Bulls was made “after a series of thoughtful and extensive discussions with ownership regarding the future of the organization,” Donovan said in the team release announcing the move.
“I believe it is in the best interest of the Bulls, to allow the new leader to build out the staff as they see fit,” he said.
Donovan was arguably the top candidate on the market when the Bulls hired him in September 2020, a few months after Karnisovas and Eversley got their jobs.
Chicago’s lone playoff appearance since all three were hired came during the 2021-22 season, when it finished sixth in the Eastern Conference at 46-36 and got knocked out by Milwaukee in the first round. The Bulls lost in the play-in tournament the next three years.
Donovan got a contract extension last offseason. Reinsdorf said after firing Karnisovas and Eversley that the problem was the roster construction — not the coach.
Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, Michael’s father, praised Donovan for the “class and genuine care” that he brought to the organization.
“We wanted Billy to continue as our head coach — that was never in question,” Jerry Reinsdorf said. “But through honest conversations, we all agreed that giving our new head of basketball operations the right to build out his staff was the most important thing for the future of this franchise. That is the kind of person Billy is — he put the Bulls first.”
Karnisovas’ inability to land a franchise cornerstone player and refusal to give the Bulls a better shot at the No. 1 pick by rebuilding were glaring. He finally changed course before this year’s trade deadline, dealing Nikola Vucevic to Boston, Kevin Huerter to Detroit, Coby White to Charlotte and Chicago product Ayo Dosunmu to Minnesota. The Bulls loaded up on second-round draft picks and did not get any first-rounders in return.
One of the players Chicago got in return was Jaden Ivey from Detroit. Chicago waived him following anti-LGBTQ+ comments about religion he made in videos posted on his Instagram account.
