“I learned what it’s like to coach in a really big market,” Boylen said. “It’s different. I learned what the media is like in a big market. I learned the pressures of what a big market does and a rebuild in a big market does to the vertical alignment of your organization. It puts a lot of pressure on.” Boylen said he was grateful to the Reinsdorfs, not only for hiring him, but for signing him to a contract under which he is still being paid. He said there were things he did while coach of the Bulls that he would change if he had the chance, but he didn’t want to name them because “if I tell you those things, I hurt people.” Without going into detail, he cited the roster and “dysfunction” in the front office.
