Summary

Tiago Splitter, the new Chicago Bulls head coach, will personally coach the team's first two NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas — an unusual move for an established NBA head coach. Splitter believes a hands-on approach is essential in his first year to set the tone and establish his system early with the young Bulls roster. After the first two games against the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz, he will hand off coaching duties to assistants Martin Rancik, Henry Domercant and Austin Dufault.
