CHICAGO (AP) -Tom Thibodeau, the defensive mastermind who helped the Boston Celtics reach the NBA finals for the second time in three years as an assistant, is the Chicago Bulls’ new head coach, a person familiar with the situation said.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because a deal has not been announced. Thibodeau’s deal is worth approximately $6.5 million, with two years guaranteed plus a team option, and he will continue to assist the Celtics through the NBA finals.
Several outlets reported Saturday afternoon that Thibodeau was leaving Boston for Chicago.
