The New York Knicks shook up a rare NBA off-day with no games by announcing the dismissal of head coach Tom Thibodeau.
The move comes as a true shocker, especially following recent statements from Thibodeau himself, as well as from Jalen Brunson and his teammates after their elimination against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Team President Leon Rose stated:
“Our organization is singularly focused on winning a championship for our fans. This pursuit led us to the difficult decision to inform Tom Thibodeau that we’ve decided to move in another direction. We can’t thank Tom enough for pouring his heart and soul into each and every day of being the New York Knicks head coach. He led us not only with class and professionalism for the past five seasons, but also to tremendous success on the court with four playoff berths and four playoff series victories. Ultimately, we made the decision we feel is best for our organization moving forward. Tom will always be a part of our Knicks family and we truly wish him nothing but the best in the future”.
