The Chicago Tribune reported that Pete Myers was told by Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau he will not be returning as the assistant coach next season.
Myer was the last left of Vinny Del Negro's staff and the move is very surprising, considering Meyers coached the team in the Vegas summer-league.
He has been with the organization for 11 years as an assistant or scout and served as interim coach for two games in 2003 when Bill Cartwright was fired and once again in 2007 for one game after Scott Skiles was fired, before Jim Boylan took over for the remainder of the season.
Drafted by the Bulls back in 1986, Myers spent three of his eight NBA seasons with Chicago.
His relationship with the core of the team is second to none.
According to the Tribune, Myers could stay with the team in a front-office capacity.
