""If I interview someone and they're not sold on Billy, they're not sold on a Hall of Fame coach... If Billy wants to be our coach and someone's not interested in that, then they're probably not the right candidate for us.""
""Over the last few months, I started looking at where we were at and I thought to myself, 'How are we going to get out of this mess?'""

Bulls CEO Michael Reinsdorf emphasized the importance of retaining Billy Donovan as head coach while searching for a new head of basketball operations. Reinsdorf stated that any candidate not supportive of Donovan, a Hall of Fame coach, would not be suitable. Following the firing of vice president Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley, Reinsdorf expressed the need for a fresh start to build a sustainable winner. He highlighted the team's cap space and potential lottery picks as opportunities for a new direction.
