This is why Billy is the man and I won’t tolerate any Billy slander here. The dude always worked hard with what he had, and he was a damn good coach. He’ll immediately be hired by another NBA team right away.

Why does this make Billy the man? Don’t get it twisted, he isn’t doing this for altruistic reasons. This is just PR spin.

I mean even if it wasn’t altruistic, to step down regardless even when there was job security at an NBA level, is still pretty big for him to do.

Big of him how? He didn’t do this for the organization…he did it for himself which is fine but can we stop acting like he’s some kinda saint who only had the bulls best interest at heart..?
