Doug Collins Back in Bed with Bulls as Head Coach.

With a New Coach, the Number one Draft Pick, The Chicago Bulls are back in business (hopefully)
The Bulls franchise is hoping that their selection of Doug Collins as head coach of the Bulls will be a start in bringing back the Bulls of Old when Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin and Dennis Rodman ruled the NBA.

Collins coached the Bulls from 1986-89 and took the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals. He also coached the Detroit Pistons and later coached Michael Jordan on the Washington Wizards.

Collins is an intense, fiery coach, who will remind some of Scott Skiles, who was fired on Christmas Eve.

Recently, Collins said he didn't want to leave his broadcasting job with TNT. Since then, the Bulls landed the No. 1 draft pick.

"I know Doug's got the itch [to coach again]," a league source said. "I think the Bulls' youth intrigues Doug more than the Phoenix [Suns] situation. He's a teacher That's what he likes to do.
"He might have been leery about the veterans on the Suns, including Shaq.

A native of Benton, Ill., Collins starred at Illinois State.
