Scottie would find coaching difficult, but maybe Michael Jordan could come in and do all the work, and da pip could just coast to success like he did his whole playing career. This guy is the most overrated athlete in sports history. I could have scored 10-15 a game with Jordan on my team, and I haven't played since high school!

Hmm. Pippen is right about all those players. I'm not sure Scotty Pippen is the right man for the job. I don't know who is. Paxson has assembled a team of limited players that can do one or two things but not much else. The Bulls are light years away from contention. The next coach will be here for 3-5 years and preside over the end of the Heinrich / Deng / Nocioni / Wallace / Gordon era, and probably get sacked as we begin to rebuild. There is not enough talent on this team to attract good coaching talent. Pippen would be a fool to take over this team as his first gig.

Who is Tyrus Thompson? In all seriousness, I think that Scottie Pippen is thinking a little too highly of himself. Though admittedly I don't know who would be better.
