CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Bulls have
re-signed Bill Cartwright as an assistant coach. The 1998-99 season will be
Cartwright's third on the Bulls' bench.
"I am looking forward to working with Tim Floyd," Cartwright said in a
statement released Thursday by the team. "We've had great discussions about
the game in general. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge we can share
with one another."
Floyd was recently appointed director of basketball operations for the
Bulls and is expected to become coach after the NBA lockout. Coach Phil
Jackson, who led the Bulls to six NBA titles, has said he is not returning.
Floyd has said he wants to keep most of the Bulls staff intact. Along
with Cartwright, he has persuaded assistant coach Frank Hamblen to return
this season. Assistant coach Tex Winter, architect of the Bulls' famed
triangle offense, remains unsigned.
Cartwright, 39, played for the Bulls for six seasons, including the
1991-93 span in which the Bulls won three consecutive championships. In his
16-year NBA career, Cartwright averaged 13.2 points and 6.3 rebounds.
