CLEVELAND, OH - MAY 12: Head coach Tom Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls speaks at the post game press conference after Game Five of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2015 NBA Playoffs on May 12, 2015 at The Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Chicago Bulls fired Tom Thibodeau on Thursday, saying a change was needed from the strong-willed coach who took his team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons. Thibodeau went 255-139 with the Bulls, good for a .647 winning percentage that ranks seventh in NBA history among coaches with at least 200 games. Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference finals that season, but it's the only time the Bulls have made it past the second round under Thibodeau, whose relationship with the front office was under constant scrutiny.
