The Chicago Bulls announced on Friday that they extended Jim Boylen’s contract. The terms of the agreement weren’t published, in accordance to team policy.
Boylen, 58, took over in December of 2018 after Fred Hoiberg was removed from the head coaching position. He since led the Bulls to 39 wins in 140 matches.
“Jim has a strong vision on where he wants to take this team, and he has done a great job establishing the culture that we want this organization to stand for as we continue to progress. He has tremendous passion for developing young talent, is a strong communicator and a good fit for this team. The organization is confident in the direction that he is taking our players, and we are committed to him” said Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations John Paxson.
