The front office of the Chicago Bulls have downplayed reports of a strained
relationship they have with Tom Thibodeau.
公牛的管理階層一直以來都以低調與淡化的方式，處理媒體對於球隊現任總教練Tom
Thibodeau(老席)與他們關係緊張的相關報導。
But people close to Thibodeau expect him to be fired this offseason.
但老席的親近友人，在這幾天已經開始預測他在球季結束後終究會被公牛開除。
Thibodeau's propensity to give what some may believe to be excessive minutes
to some of his players has been an issue with the front office.
有不少人相信，老席之所以會面臨這種對自己事業不利的局面，是因為對於公牛隊上
部分主力球員的「超時使用」，已經引起管理組憂慮甚至不滿。
Thibodeau also was not happy with the firing of Ron Adams, among other issues.
此外，現任勇士助教Ron Adams前年沒有再被公牛續聘，也是影響老席心情的關鍵因子。
