Tom Thibodeau: 'No regrets' on time with Bulls

Tom Thibodeau, speaking publicly Friday for the first time since being fired by the Chicago Bulls, said he has "no regrets" and doesn't believe his icy relationship with Bulls executives Gar Forman and John Paxson affected the team in any way.

"I would like to think it didn't have any because if you allow yourself to be distracted, you're going to be distracted by a lot of other things as well," Thibodeau said during an appearance on Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio.

"And so as players, as coaches, you're going to hear things all the time. Whether it's trades, or being fired, whatever it might be. I think the important thing is to lock into what you have to do each and every day, put everything you have into it, and then you let the results speak for themselves. I have no regrets. It was a great run and I just move on."

Thibodeau, who was fired on May 28, didn't want to go into detail concerning his relationship with Forman and Paxson. The Bulls lost in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
