(WSCR) Riding high after his Game 7 victory over the Grizzlies, Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro took a final shot at the Bulls’ front office.
The Bulls hired an inexperienced Del Negro before the 2008 season to usher in the Derrick Rose era. Though, Del Negro felt he never got the full support of the front office, especially that of former general manager John Paxon.
When the Bulls fired Del Negro after the 2010 season, Del Negro was left with a bad taste in his mouth.
“All that [expletive] that I had to deal with John and everything, it was a total cluster[expletive],” Del Negro told Yahoo! Sports. “Listen, I understand the business: I hadn’t coached before, and my first job was in Chicago, where I had absolutely no [management] support. Then I came to this situation, where the history spoke for itself. But I knew it was important to keep working at the craft”
