The Philadelphia 76ers have granted the Chicago Bulls permission to interview Ime Udoka for the vacant head coach position, a source confirmed to Sports Illustrated on Monday night. Udoka, who spent the 2019-2020 NBA season as Brett Brown’s top assistant, has been on Chicago’s radar for quite some time now.
A few months back, during the COVID-19 hiatus, the Chicago Bulls were revamping their front office. They started by hiring Arturas Karnisovas as the organization’s top executive and added Marc Eversley as the general manager.

With new front office leaders in place, the Bulls were expected to find a new head coach as well.
Although they waited for a little to end the Boylen era officially, the inevitable eventually occurred. Now, the Bulls’ new front office is searching for a new head coach, and Ime Udoka, as expected, is on Chicago’s radar officially.
Considering Eversley came from Philadelphia’s front office, it’s no surprise Udoka is getting a strong consideration from the Bulls. However, just because he’s a notable candidate doesn’t mean the job is his to lose.
