The Vinny Del Negro death watch has come to its inevitable conclusion. Sources tell CBS 2 Del Negro has in fact been fired as the Bulls head coach after two seasons, following meetings with owner Jerry Reinsdorf and other front-office members over the past few days. CBS 2

The official announcement will come Tuesday. Reinsdorf will have to pony up to pay Del Negro's replacement -- a proven bench boss who's actually coached before. The injury-plagued Bulls barely made the playoffs this year and lost to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in five games. CBS 2

The Bulls have called a noon Tuesday news conference, at which time sources said they will announce the dismissal of coach Vinny Del Negro with one season and roughly $2 million remaining on his guaranteed three-year contract. Del Negro went 82-82 during the regular season and 4-8 during two trips to the postseason. Chicago Tribune

Sources said Del Negro's imminent dismissal has nothing to do with the brief physical altercation between Del Negro and senior vice president John Paxson on March 30, which merely made public the deteriorating relationship between those two individuals. Chicago Tribune
