Billy Donovan aware of being in the hot seat

The trio DeMar DeRozan – Zach LaVine – Nikola Vucevic is playing very big this season. With this framework, the Bulls have in fact only won a very small playoff match, in one participation, after two seasons. But they are not the only ones in danger, Billy Donovan is just as much.

The coach is responsible for putting his team into music and after two seasons, and despite the talent of this trio, Chicago has a record of 86 victories for 78 defeats. If the Bulls still don’t move forward in the coming months, he could be in great danger…

“I always consider myself putting pressure on myself to try to help our guys and our team play to the best of their abilities,” replied Billy Donovan for NBC Sports. “I am totally aware that results drive everything. I don’t think, however, that my relationships with the managers, Arturas Karnisovas, Mark Eversley or Jerry Reinsdorf, and my way of working on a daily basis will change based on that. »

Billy Donovan received support from the franchise during the summer of 2022 by being extended. Does he feel a little protected?

“I understand the expectations. During my life as a player and coach, there has always been criticism. They are there and always will be. This is how “, he continues. “Players make mistakes on the floor, and I, as a coach, make mistakes too. I try to embrace them and find a way to improve. I know in the future I won’t be perfect, but I will work to do what’s best for this team. »
