Media reports from the Chicago Sun-Times have sources saying Doug Collins will be named the Bulls' new head coach.

John Paxson has released the following statement to RealGM and other media outlets in response.

?I have been in contact with Doug Collins in regard to our head coaching position.  Contrary to some reports that are currently out there, we have not reached an agreement.  Right now, his commitment is covering the Western Conference Finals for TNT.  When that series concludes, we will continue our dialogue.  In the meantime, I will continue to talk to other candidates and review our options.?
