He ordered a time clock. He had it painted from green to red and inscribed with “Chicago Bulls” in white letters on the front. On the sides are Bulls logos. It sits on a north wall inside the Advocate Center, just off the training room, steps away from the weight room. To the right, resting in two small adjacent grey placeholders, are the players’ time cards. Each one is red and white, with the player’s name and his jersey number at the top. The custom-made cards also are adorned with a Bulls logo.
“So when guys come through the doors they punch in now,” Boylen said. “Punching in to work.”

Mayberry reports that Boylen remembered punching into work as “cool but also symbolic,” a gauge of responsibility and accountability, which may come in handy when your profession lacks handy metrics for that like “how many games you have won or lost.” Boylen reportedly now requires that players be in the building 45 minutes early for practices, which run nearly three hours. (Most teams run theirs between two and two-and-a-half.) He’s also trying out “custom-made T-shirts” and “guessing games in group sessions that test players’ vocabulary.” I’m still working to confirm reports he’s hired my third grade Spanish teacher as an assistant.
