Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said on Thursday that he won't campaign for his job.

"That's not my decision," Del Negro said when asked if he deserved to finish his three-year deal. "It's easy for me to make that decision, but it's not mine. I have a lot of confidence not only in myself, but I think my staff has done a tremendous job.

"They're very experienced and have been around. I'm going to keep on making sure we're prepared. Get these young guys continually developing and try to move in the right direction."

The Chicago Tribune and Yahoo! Sports have reported that Bulls management doesn't support Del Negro.

"It's been beat up so much," Del Negro said. "I want to just focus in on the game, concentrate on what my job is with this team. I think all that stuff will play itself out. We have to try to move forward a bit."
