Charting Tom Thibodeau’s tenure with the Bulls (data visualization)

Tom Thibodeau's five seasons as Bulls coach could come to an end after the team's playoff run ended on Thursday. Thibodeau's time as coach has been marred with setbacks and injuries, especially to star Derrick Rose. The Bulls playoff runs in these 5 years came to an end against superstar LeBron James three times.

Thibodeau's Bulls teams have been known for their tenacious defense, but often had troubles scoring. But even with a lackluster offense, Thibs' coaching has been good enough to place him third in regular season winning percentage among coaches active at the end of the 2015 season.
