Sports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wojnarowski reports that new&amp;nbsp;Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg had targeted Boyle to coordinate his defensive coverages and help with his jump from college to the NBA.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boylen was the head coach at Utah from 2007 to 2011 before jumping to the NBA as an Indiana Pacers assistant before becoming a Spurs assistant on&amp;nbsp;Gregg Popovich's staff.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago hired Hoiberg from Iowa State on June 1 after firing Tom Thibodeau.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Wojnarowski, Popovich&amp;nbsp;wanted to keep Boylen on his staff but understood the opportunity his assistant had with the Bulls.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;HAMILTON: Hoiberg still recruiting, only now Bulls are target&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bulls finished 50\u201332 this season and made the playoffs, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Molly Geary&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
