    “Tiago Splitter” what a name! It sounds like a fictional football coach collided with a baseball one at high speed.

    Portland makes the playoffs for the first time since like 2020 and Don’t resign their first year head coach? Brilliant move lol

      Splitter was not the Portland head coach, he was the acting head coach until they can hire a permanent coach. He might have been one of their top candidates, but it did not stop Splitter from interviewing for other HC opportunities. The Bulls must have made an offer first or made a better offer.

        I understand the situation but, dude was the head coach for 81 games this season plus the playoffs. Did a great job from what I’ve seen, and Portland let him walk, why?
