He added: "My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Thelma, his family and friends.". Jackson also weighed in. "The news of Jerry Krause's death is a sad day for the Chicago Bulls and the entire NBA community," he said. "He was a man determined to create a winning team in Chicago - his hometown.

... excited about the White Sox’ future in a long, long time.”. Ken Williams talks to reporters at Camelback Ranch Tuesday. Williams has kept a lower public profile than usual during camp, leaving Hahn to be the point man in the rebuild and the public face of it as well. Williams did venture out Tuesday to talk about the passing of Jerry Krause, who scouted him as a player, and was then asked about the rebuilding plan, which has stocked camp with an influx of exciting young talent not seen in these parts for some time. “It’s been personally invigorating to see these guys in this clubhouse and on the back fields, to see the second wave of guys that will be coming after this first wave of prospects,” Williams said. “To talk to Rick about the possibilities trade-wise we may have out there in the future, free agency, international signing wise. we’re in ...

Honoring The Architect

... Of course, then Motta did the scouting and gave one the biggest contracts in franchise history to Howard Porter. The flesh market is tough to read. Though Krause did warn Motta to stay away from Porter. But Krause did it better than most, finding gems like Cliff Ray, thwarted in his relentless desire for the team to draft Robert Parish. When Ray got to the Bulls and saw Krause, he asked if he was that guy always following him around campus. Krause left no detail unexamined. Typical of Krause, he’d never forget and eventually bring in Parish late in his career for a Bulls title team and when he had a chance to start again went first after Brent Barry, whom he’d lost in an earlier draft. Krause clearly was no politician, and got sunk in Motta’s Machiavellian machinations. Eventually, Krause got caught in the middle of an embarrassing episode in which he either did or ...

... the game? The series that the Bulls whipped Detroit 4 – 0?   Who can forget Michael’s six 3-pointers v. the Blazers in the first half?    Or his “flu” game v. the Jazz. Who can forget all the players whom Michael and Scottie denied, to raise their basketball championship banners? Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Clyde Drexler (on Portland at the time), and others. Krause got Michael back in 1996, after Jordan had taken nearly 2 years off after his father was murdered. He figured: let’s try this at least one more time. And then in 1996 , Kraus added Steve Kerr, Bill Cunningham, Dennis Rodman, and Toni Kukoc – 6 th man of the year, Randy Brown, and Ron Harper. This team had the best NBA record of 72-10 at the time. And when Scottie was asked by the media about their championship possibility, he stated one of the revered sayings in Bull’s lore: “72-10 don’t ...

The Zags are second nationally with a.87 defensive efficiency rating (DER), based on the number of points per possession. The NCAA average is 1.04. DER factors include opponent FG percentage, turnover percentage, defensive rebounding percentage and free-throw percentage. “The best we’ve ever done (since tracking in the early 2000 s),” Jakus said. “It’s not just about the number, but the ability to switch ball screens, Zach (Collins) and Przemek (Karnowski) and the rim protection, the guards’ willingness to guard bigs after switches and box out.”.
