Hoiberg out, Boylen in as Bulls head coach

The skidding Chicago Bulls fired coach Fred Hoiberg on Monday and promoted associate head coach Jim Boylen in hopes of lifting the team from the bottom of the standings. The Bulls have been hit hard by injuries this season, but at 5-19, only two teams have worse records. Hoiberg was named Chicago’s head coach in June 2015 after spending five seasons at Iowa State.
