The Chicago Bulls, who are reportedly restructuring their roster, have expressed interest in BYU head coach Kevin Young for their head coaching post.
Early discussions with Young, according to ESPN on Friday, are part of a broad search to replace Billy Donovan, who retired on April 21 after six seasons.
Chicago also separated with executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley last month. The Bulls ended 31-51 this season and missed the playoffs for the eighth time in the previous nine seasons.
Young, 44, has led BYU to a 49-22 record and two NCAA Tournament bids since being hired in April 2024, after Mark Pope departed to coach Kentucky.
The Cougars made the Sweet 16 and finished No. 13 in the final rankings during Young’s debut season in Provo. Last season, they were rated as high as No. 7.
Young served as an assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns from 2020 to 2024, including three seasons as associate head coach, before moving to BYU. He worked as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers from 2016-2020 and has served as head coach for numerous teams in the NBA G League.
