Tom Thibodeau Thibodeau’s selection is his first
with USA Basketball. “I am honored that Jerry Colangelo
and Mike Krzyzewski have asked me to join the USA Basketball National Team coaching staff,” said Thibodeau. “It is truly and honor and a privilege to be rep- resenting our country the next four years and to be part of such a great team. I’m very excited about having the opportuni- ty to work with all the great coaches and players that are going to be involved.” A veteran of 22 years along the
NBA sidelines, Thibodeau was named the 18th head coach in the Chicago Bulls franchise history on June 23, 2010, and is the only coach in NBA history to win the most games in the league each of his first two seasons. In his three seasons as the Bulls
head mentor, his teams have compiled 157-73 win-loss record (.683 winning percentage) during the regular season, won two Central Division titles, and participated in three NBA Playoffs. His career winning percentage of .683 ranks him fourth in NBA history among head coaches who have coached at least 200 career games. In his first season as head coach,
Thibodeau guided the 2010-11 Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bulls also won the Central Division title, en route to a league-best record of 62-20 (.756). The 62 wins in 2010-11 broke Phil Jackson’s franchise mark (55 in 1989-90) for most wins by a first-year Bulls head coach, he became just the third coach (along with Paul Westphal and Bill Russell) in NBA history to win 60 or more games in his first year as a head coach, and his 62 victories tied Westphal for most wins by a first-year head coach in league history.
