I'm pretty sure we called this last year when he took over. It's only so long that rah rah shyt works on NBA players. He did all that extra shyt last year so the majority of the team is already hip to what he's about. They probably already see him as a joke tbh... especially with this awful start to this season. Now it's like he's this calm relaxed guy in the pressers, lol where did this 180 come from?placing the blame on the players while absolving yourself...won't be but too long before another Bulls coach loses the locker room again
Imagine, buying into what Boylen is selling after a full training camp, then the season rolls around, and the rotations are trash, the defensive coverages are HS level, and you're losing to mediocre teams and teams without key players? What credibility does he hold in the locker room after being exposed from an Xs and Os standpoint? Then to compound things further, he goes and blames the players for their effort.
"I can't coach effort"
It's still early, he should take the, "I need to put the guys in the better position to win" stance/approach. Especially when he hasn't won or done shyt as a headcoach in the NBA to this point.
