Thibs is a good coach - he actually did some creative stuff in Chicago on offense once Rose was hurt. However - he has a shelf life as a head coach, you can only chirp "do your job" so many times before the players tune you out. Rick Carlisle is an all time great coach - but he has worn out his welcome in multiple spots too.
Ime R.U. LISTENING?? I have said this TIME AND TIME again, you can not win with a short rotation. Tom went into his rotation in games 4, 5 and 6 but it was too late! I still think if Ime would have played Cam and Holiday more the Rockets would have at least went to Round 2
This is great news, sorry but Thibs was never going to get the best out of this group and trusting his bench is just not him. I feel we’re going to get there with Udoka as well, you need a coach who adapts better.
[Begley] The way the Knicks conducted their season-end review of the organization was different than normal, as "top players" on the roster were called in to meetings that owner James Dolan was also present. Those reviews led to the Knicks deciding to move on from Tom Thibodeau as head coach
It's always funny when teams look for a "championship pedigree" in a coach. In the past 50 years or longer, the only coaches to ever win a championship with a 2nd team are Phil Jackson and Pat Riley. Beyond that, coaches only win with one organization and can't ever duplicate that success anywhere else.
Tom isn't a championship coach, he burns his players out, Ime should be watching, and hopefully learning. DD
Well I was wrong on this one, didn't think they'd fire a coach who overachieved. Knicks don't beat this position next season.
LOL, Narcissists never learn. Ime Udoka I think will be gone within 2 years. Not a Offensive Coach at all. What happened in Boston with Ime Udoka? Affair with a Married Woman with kids from the Front Office, Husband also in the Front Office. Ime Udoka also was married to a Actress with a Son.
If Reed Sheppard, Cam Whitmore, Jabari Smith don't get playing time next season in the Playoffs and Ime Udoka benches them again. Ime Udoka has to go. Ime Udoka deserves to be let go, no contract renewed. Try to Hire one of the Assistants of the OKC Thunder, Offensive Coaches.
Check out the Knicks record from JVG to Thibodeaux. Did Thibs trade *five* #1 picks for Mikhail Bridges?
NYC perhaps next to Philly fans, might be the most emotional/critical in the country. The Knicks have a really bad track record before this, but Leon Rose and the new leadership might keep them successful. Brunson is a great talent, we'll see if they improve or regress after this move next year. Chicago fans were vocal about this and explained how they regressed, we'll see what happens.
