Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday, May 20, that Jerry Stackhouse has emerged as a candidate for the Bulls’ vacant head coaching job, though no hire has been announced.
- Chicago is conducting a wide, cautious search tied to recent front-office changes and is requesting permission to interview several NBA assistants as it evaluates long-term direction.
- Stackhouse left the Golden State staff after his contract expired and spent the past two seasons working under Steve Kerr, which sources describe as a key defensive role on the Warriors’ bench.
- Stackhouse’s résumé includes head coaching at Vanderbilt, a G League title with Raptors 905, and prior NBA assistant work, which makes him a credible candidate for teams seeking both player development and defensive structure.
- If Chicago hires Stackhouse it would continue the pattern of teams tapping Kerr’s coaching tree, and Golden State will need to replace a defensive voice while the Bulls’ choice could shape roster planning and the franchise’s rebuild.
