Well isn't this just dandy...

"If there was an instruction manual on how a front office can mess up a situation, John Paxson and Gar Forman just spent the last two seasons writing the outline.
"It was in training camp 2014 that the front office told several core players like Rose and Joakim Noah that it was OK to tune Thibodeau out. That was verified by several sources, including current players.
Gar/Pax sold the players on the idea that Thibodeau’s perceived heavy workload was leading to injury problems.
"Once a roster is empowered like that and given the stamp to ignore coaching it’s hard to get them back in line. Hoiberg found that out far too often this season, as sound game plans were forgotten or ignored by this group in far too many key moments."
