The head coaching search continues for the Chicago Bulls with Mike D'Antoni off the board.

The New York Knicks picked up the former Phoenix Suns coach and now Bulls GM John Paxson is back looking for candidates for the Bulls.

Whoever gets hired will have to reconnect a fractured team that expected to contend in the Eastern Conference but fell into the lottery.

Paxson has mostly kept mum on the search. But over the weekend he did make statements to several media outlets that the Bulls were poised to make D'Antoni an offer.

But by the time the Bulls were ready to present their offer, D'Antoni had agreed to coach the Knicks for a reported four years and $24 million.
