Don't Panic -- Boylen Still Coaching the Utes
Don't anybody panic.

Yes, you might have heard that the NBA's Chicago Bulls have named Jim Boylan their interim coach for the rest of the season, after the firing of Scott Skiles on Christmas Eve.

But of course, that's the other Jim Boylan -- note the different spelling.

Though both were assistants who briefly worked together under coach Jud Heathcote at Michigan State and both began their NBA careers as video coordinators, the other Boylan worked for Cleveland Cavaliers, Vancouver Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks and the Bulls, while our Boylen worked for the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks before returning for his second stint at Michigan State and then taking the Utah job last spring.

The other Boylan has previous head coaching experience, too. He guided New Hampshire for a few years before entering the NBA.
