Billy Donovan Plans Meeting With Bulls' Ownership To Discuss Future

But we're at this pivot point right now where everything has changed. Find out where we're all at on this. And how we're going to move forward. The Bulls last week dismissed executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley. At a subsequent news conference, Reinsdorf voiced support for Donovan's continued role as head coach. Reinsdorf previously stated that any front office candidate uninterested in retaining Donovan would likely not be the right fit. He later clarified in writing, however, that Donovan's status would not take precedence in the process. Donovan said outside opportunities would not factor into his decision, noting he had declined to pursue other openings in recent years out of loyalty to Chicago. I'm committed here to Chicago, Donovan said. I'm going to try to be where my feet are planted. I'm going to stay there and stay committed to where I'm at. Donovan holds a 226-255 record across six seasons in Chicago. He had been considered for the vacant head coaching position at the University of North Carolina before the school hired Michael Malone.
