Chicago Bulls fans are done with head coach Jim Boylen and aren't afraid to voice their displeasure with him.
After the Bulls lost to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday at home, a fan at the United Center called Boylen a clown while the coach was walking to the locker room.
Boylen heard the fan and looked up at him, but walked away shortly after:

The Bulls, after losing to the Hornets on Friday, are 9-18 on the season. They are in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
Chicago fans desperately want owner Jerry Reinsdorf to fire John Paxson, Gar Forman and Boylen, but it likely won't happen. Boylen is Paxson and Forman’s hiring, and he will do anything they ask since he received an undeserved contract extension this past summer.
Boylen had a mutiny on his hands last season and he has already gotten into a little spat with shooting guard Zach LaVine after benching the high-flyer against the Miami Heat. LaVine responded to the benching with 49 points and a game-winning shot versus the Hornets, but it’s pretty clear Zach and Boylen have a ways to go before they are on the same page.
The Bulls were expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. Chicago is only three games out of a playoff spot, but that’s only because the back half of the Eastern Conference is so bad.
