Overview
- The Miami Heat granted the Chicago Bulls permission to interview associate head coach Chris Quinn, a development reported Friday by multiple outlets that officially adds him to Chicago’s candidate pool.
- Quinn has been on Erik Spoelstra’s staff since 2014 and was promoted to associate head coach in 2024, giving him more than a decade of experience in Miami’s player‑development system.
- The Bulls opened the search after Billy Donovan stepped down in April and have tasked new head of basketball operations Bryson Graham with running a broad, multi‑name vetting process.
- Chicago’s roster and plans shape the search because the club owns the No. 4 pick in the 2026 draft and is targeting coaches who can develop young talent rather than immediate contenders.
- Quinn’s addition follows a pattern of teams hiring assistants from successful staffs and continues a thread of prior interest in Quinn, who has interviewed for other openings in recent years; the Bulls have not announced a hire.
