There's a reason why Vinny Del Negro is still the head coach of the Chicago Bulls...for now. While most people seem convinced that VDN will soon be fired, the holdup is the incident between Vinny, V.P. of Basketball Operations John Paxson and labor-related issues based on the March 30th incident after the Suns' game at United Center. I think these labor-related issues go beyond the basketball court and may be beyond the NBA's jurisdiction. Until these labor issues are squared away, the Bulls won't make any announcement regarding Vinny and/or John's futures with the team. There's a chance that Vinny might not be the only man headed for the unemployment line as a result of this incident.
I know people keep thinking this is why, but it is has nothing to do with anything.
These guys dont work at ESPN or IBM, if Vinny even thinks he is going to take any action against Pax for any kind of shoving incident, VDN knows he will never work again as a coach in the league.
The question of Paxson keeping his job is what I do think is holding this up, but his employment status has nothing to do with the incident, but about what his plan is for the team, and if he is going to continue to be a pussy!
