Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines for winning the 2026 NCAA National Championship.
While my bracket wasn’t exactly a masterpiece, I did have them winning it all, so yes, I will absolutely be stamping my ball knowledge credibility here. Picking a one-seed to win it all? Elite stuff. Certified ball knower.
Anyway, last night wasn’t just about college hoops, it was packed with Bulls news too. The front office got cleared out with less than a week left in the season. A “better late than never” move, which, to be fair, has kind of been the Bulls’ whole MO.
Stay tuned, there’s a lot more coming on this over at Bleacher Nation today and throughout the week.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
© David Banks-Imagn Images Last night, the Michigan Wolverines took down the UConn Huskies in the national title game. One of the tighter matchups of the tournament, finishing with a 6-point win for the maize and blue. And honestly, it wasn’t about one superstar performance—this was a win by committee from start to finish. Looking at some potential first-round talent, Yaxel Lendeborg finished with 13 points on 4–13 shooting and 0–5 from three. Braden Mullins added 11 points on 4–17 and 3–10 splits. Aday Mara chipped in with 8 points, 4 rebounds, plus a steal and a block. Not the prettiest stat lines, but it doesn’t take away from the seasons they’ve had or the flashes they’ve shown throughout the year. And zooming out, this was one of the more interesting college basketball seasons in recent memory. A freshman class that really delivered, top 2026 NBA Draft prospects showing up on big stages, and constant conversations around NIL and even players moving from the NBA back to college. Just a lot going on. For the Bulls, who could be sitting on two solid picks, the scouting process alone would’ve been a fun one, because this season gave you plenty to watch and think about.ONE SHINING MOMENT ?#MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/uUWNyiFneC
— NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 7, 2026 Snapping back to reality, and oop, there goes the front office. As much as you never want to celebrate people losing their jobs, this one felt long overdue. The Chicago Bulls were going nowhere, and honestly, that’s worse than being the worst team in the league. At least then, you have the opportunity to draft a player around whom you can chart the organizational direction. This? This was stuck in the middle — no rebuild, no real push to contend. And that’s how you end up holding onto assets past their expiration date. Pair that with questionable draft picks and even worse contracts, and things started to get ugly. According to ESPN, Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley felt “constrained” by ownership when it came to running the team:“Karnisovas and Eversley maintained throughout the past few years that they were working under the constraints of ownership. The team’s ownership and coach Billy Donovan were hesitant to ‘tank’ in order to prioritize a high draft pick, which, they said, limited the team’s options.”
So the shackles were real—but they only came off once both of them were out of a job. Then came the Bulls’ official statement. And reading between the lines? It gets interesting.“We have not had the success our fans deserve, and it’s my responsibility to go in a new direction.”
Direction? That’s been the problem this whole time. There wasn’t one. And if reports are true, that confusion didn’t just come from the front office, it came from the very top. So if you’re serious about a “new direction,” shouldn’t that start there too? And then:“I want our fans to know that I hear you and understand your frustration. I feel it as well. I know this will take time, and I am fully committed to getting this right.”
Yeah, we’ve heard that one before.The Chicago Bulls announced today that Artūras Karnišovas, Executive Vice President – Basketball Operations and Marc Eversley, General Manager have been relieved of their positions. pic.twitter.com/nFFK0U66ng
— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) April 6, 2026 Now the Bulls head into one of the most important offseasons in recent memory, with no front office in place. Valuable draft picks. Significant cap space. Real opportunity. But none of that matters if you don’t hire the right people to make those decisions. At some point, you have to accept reality. This is a team in the middle of a rebuild, whether they want to say it out loud or not. They have intriguing young pieces. They have flexibility. But they need alignment, from top to bottom, and a willingness to actually commit to a direction, even if that means taking a step back before moving forward. According to K.C. Johnson, Michael Reinsdorf will be available to the media today to address what happened, and more importantly, what comes next. This could be a defining moment in Bulls history. For once, you just hope they get it right.Bulls will run extensive search, with CEO Michael Reinsdorf expected to address reporters at some point Tuesday. Reinsdorf, senior advisor John Paxson and Brian Hagen, Pat Connelly and JJ Polk will work collectively at top of basketball opps during search t.co/gs53zlyrs8
