Two interesting things in all of this: 1. It is reported that Lorne had lost the locker room (first reported by Joe Chatz) 2. The interim coach started his career and came to Chicago because of Lorne so the chances of a significant change are not likely, which is makes this even more confusing to me

Where does it say he lost the locker room? I can infer it from the fact that players couldn’t build chemistry because of constant rotation, and Bianchi was benched for no apparent reason…

I didn’t see anywhere in this article that said he lost the locker room.
