According to the Chicago Tribune, all signs are pointing to Pete Myers returning to the bench as an assistant coach. In addition, the Bulls are talking with Linsdey Hunter, trying to keep him in a player development role.

Staff scribblings: All signs continue to point to Pete Myers returning to the assistant coaching bench role he held during Scott Skiles’ tenure. Myers spent last season in a limited, behind-the-bench role but is expected to take Del Harris’ spot after Harris’ retirement last week.

The Bulls also have held internal discussions about keeping Lindsey Hunter as a part-time player or as a player development coach. Hunter attended Monday’s draft workout.

Not all that thrilled by the news of Myers returning to the bench. I don’t think he is a negative influence in anyway, but it would be nice to see the Bulls look to spend some money, in particular on a defensive assistant.

Lindsey Hunter was nice to have around the team this year. He was a great cheerleader on the bench. Hunter would likely do well in either role being discussed for him.
