Thibodeau Quickest Coach to 100 Wins

 

“I know he is going to say it doesn’t mean anything, but I think it is a great accomplishment,” said Bulls center Joakim Noah. “He is the hardest working guy I have ever been around.”

 

March 20, 2012 – With Monday’s win in Orlando, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau not only broke Phil Jackson’s team record for reaching the 100-win plateau the fastest, but set the NBA record, breaking Avery Johnson’s mark by one game. In his second year on the sidelines, Thibodeau owns a career coaching record of 100-30 (.769).

 

“I know he is going to say it doesn’t mean anything, but I think it is a great accomplishment,” said Bulls center Joakim Noah following the game. “He is the hardest working guy I have ever been around. He deserves it.”

 

Carlos Boozer scored 24 points and had 13 rebounds, while John Lucas III added 20 points off the bench as the Bulls beat the Magic 85-59.
