Fred Hoiberg was about 24 hours into Jose Altuve Jersey the 2015-16 season, beginning in earnest his , when he began to feel Tom Thibodeaus pain.First, star point guard Derrick Rose got media day underway on Monday by declaring he is playing first and foremost to earn free-agency money when his contract ends in 2017. Then, Rose took an elbow to the eye in practice, .MORE: | This was all too familiar for the old Bulls coach. By the end of the week, we might expect new guy Hoiberg to pack on a few pounds, find his hair thinning and his voice sounding like sandpaper as he mutters, Next man up.Hoiberg came from Iowa State toreplaceThibodeau, who coached the Bulls for five years, this offseason, and there is much that figures to be different in Chicago as a result. Thibodeaus relationship with the front office turned near-toxic over the last two years, and that will change with Hoiberg, who is close with VP John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman.Hoiberg will keep an eye on limiting players minutes, something Thibodeau neglected the Bulls had a player leading the league in minutes per game, first Luol Deng, then Jimmy Butler, for the past four seasons. Hoiberg will tinker with youngsters, letting underused players like Doug McDermott, Tony Snell and Nikola Mirotic have more opportunities to contribute than they had under Thibodeau.Ultimately, though, if Hoiberg is going to prove any better at this job than Thibodeau, he will have to confront the same i sue that kept Thibodeaus Bulls out of the NBA Finals. And thats Rose. This time, though, the Rose problem has only gotten worse.PHOTOS: Yuli Gurriel Jersey Over five years, Rose has gone from MVP and the toast of Chicago a local kid budding into a superstar heir to Michael Jordan to utter disaster. The knee injury he suffered in 2012, and his subsequent reluctance to return to the floor,divided fans and observers into those who thought Rose was far too careful with the injury, and those who supported Rose by pointing out that knee injuries are different for everyone and require caution.In his latest brush with infamy, though, Rose has at least unified those two camps. Theres no defending a guy who has $41 million Anthony Gose Jersey left on his contract for two years, has played just 100 games in the past three years and still wants to get this season started by talking about getting money in 2017 free agency. Even in Chicago, support for Rose is scant. Rose only started that rant in the first place because he was responding to a question about a civil lawsuit that .Rose has maintained his innocence, and said, I take it as motivation. I feel like the devils just working. Media criticism, a low draft spot, a poor ranking in some NBA video game these are usual sources of player motivation. But Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey a sexual a sault civil lawsuit?This is Hoibergs problem now. He has done what he should do, which is to try to shrug off the whole thing.I dont know what he said in the past to be honest with you, Hoiberg told reporters. Again, Im not concerned about it and I dont think his teammates are worried about it.MORE: Its obviously too early for Hoiberg to be worried about Roses gaffes and his eye socket surgery. The Bulls figure to be one of the top teams in the East even if Rose keeps tripping over his tongue, filing legal briefs and suffering bizarre injuries. Keeping Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah healthy and fresh by years end is the bigger concern here. Rose shot just 39.6 percent in the playoffs last year, but Gasols bum hamstring probably had more to do with Chicagos failure to advance past the second round.But, as he did during Thibodeaus tenure, Rose will overshadow this Bulls season, and likely do the same next year, too. Whatever Thibodeaus faults were, he did an Carlos Beltran Jersey admirable job navigating his team around Roses many foibles, getting them consistently to 50 wins and extracting about as much as po sible out of their postseason runs. Its no easy feat in the NBA, keeping a team focused when the star player has gone off the rails.Its Hoibergs challenge now. Next man up.
