What happened: Tiago Splitter is listed as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls' summer league team and is expected to coach the summer squad for a game or two. It marks his first time on the bench in a game setting since taking over the Bulls' head coaching job.
Why it matters: Head coaches often delegate summer league duties to assistants, so the newly hired Splitter taking the reins himself signals a hands-on approach with Chicago's young roster. Even a game or two gives him an early look at the franchise's incoming rookie class and a head start on installing his system before training camp.
What to watch: Watch for how long Splitter stays on the bench in summer league and which assistant takes over once he hands off the squad, an early hint at how his new staff will be structured.
