Chicago Bulls players have reportedly taken action in response to the demands made of them by head coach Jim Boylen.

Yahoo Sports’ Vincent Goodwill and Chris Haynes reported Monday that Bulls players reached out to the National Basketball Players Association regarding what they believed were “extreme tactics” used by Boylen:

“After taking the helm from fired coach Fred Hoiberg on Monday, Boylen held three two-and-a-half-hour practices in his first week that included extra wind sprints and players doing military-style pushups. Calling for another lengthy practice after the back-to-back led to a near-mutiny and caused the players to reach out to the union, sources said.”
