The Chicago Bulls are working to fill their head coach vacancy quickly and are reportedly planning interviews with Micah Nori, James Borrego, and Wes Unseld Jr. The team is also expected to contact the Portland Trail Blazers about a formal conversation with interim head coach Tiago Splitter. Jerry Stackhouse is mentioned as a potential candidate, though it is unclear whether an interview is planned. Micah Nori, 52, has been an NBA figure since 2009 and previously played college baseball at Indiana. He transitioned from baseball to basketball, working with the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, and currently the Minnesota Timberwolves under Chris Finch.
"The Bulls are reportedly slated to interview Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant coach Micah Nori, New Orleans Pelicans interim head coach James Borrego, Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach and Billy Donovan-era Bulls assistant coach Wes Unseld Jr."
"Chicago is also slated to ask the cheapskate Portland Trail Blazers about a formal conversation with current interim head coach Tiago Splitter. Former two-time All-Star swingman-turned-Golden State Warriors assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse is said to be in the running for the Bulls gig, although it's unclear if an interview is planned just yet."
"Nori, 52, has been an NBA mainstay since 2009. But hoops wasn't his first choice. Nori played college baseball at Indiana, where he put up strong numbers ( a .305 career batting average with 20 home runs, 127 RBI and 116 runs) before getting a brief taste in the Mets' system."
"Nori then worked under Michael Malone during parts of his stints with the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets, from 2013-18. He returned to work under Casey as his head assistant on the Detroit Pistons from 2018-21. Nori has been serving under Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch."
