New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan is reportedly considering stepping away from coaching after this season, potentially taking a year off to reassess his future.
- Donovan's tenure with the Bulls has seen limited success, with only one playoff appearance and a single season over 40 wins in six years, amid personal losses and a struggling team performance.
- Despite signing a multi-year contract extension in 2025, Donovan has not been provided with top-tier talent, and the Bulls currently sit 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 29-42 record.
- General manager Arturas Karnisovas might also face scrutiny, as Donovan’s potential departure could shift accountability within the organization.
- Donovan boasts a strong coaching resume, including NCAA championships and an NBA Coach of the Year award, but ongoing team challenges in Chicago may prompt his decision to pause or end his coaching career.
