The Chicago Bulls are in need of one more assistant coach to add to coach Thibodeou's staff.

The Bulls have had their eyes on Terry Porter since the beginning of the summer, but they are also looking at other options. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Terry Porter, Eric Musselman and Kelvin Sampson are the finalists.

Terry Porter had his first coaching gig with the Sacramento Kings as an assistant in the 02-03 season.  In 2003, the Milwaukee Bucks hired Porter to be their head coach, but when his team failed to make the playoffs, he was released in 2005. He then found a job with the Detroit Pistons as an assistant coach in the 06-07 season, but only stayed with them for one season. Porter, once again, became a head coach, but this time for the Phoenix Suns. Sadly, he only lasted 51 games with a 28-23 record with the team. Although his career coaching record is not very good, 99-116, he can still be a good mentor to Derrick Rose.

In 2002 Eric Musselman was hired to be the head coach Golden State Warriors. He stayed with them for two years putting up a total record of 75–89. In the 02-03 season he finished second to Greg Popovich in the NBA Coach of the Year voting. In 2006, Musselman found a job with the Sacramento Kings and led the team to a 33-49 record, but he was fired 48 hours before the last game. 
 
Kelvin Sampson, currently, is the assistant coach for the Milwaukee Bucks and was hired by the team on May 14, 2008. Before that he was hired by the Spurs, in advisory role, on March 8, 2008. Sampson also coached at the college level for Indiana, Oklahoma, and Washington State.
