The firing of Tom Thibodeau has revealed more turmoil inside the Knicks. According to Hoops Wire, several players are reportedly unhappy with Rick Brunson\u2019s influence as an assistant coach.<\/p>\n

Rick, father of All-Star Jalen Brunson, is said to have wielded significant power, with one source calling him \u201cthe most powerful person in the organization.\u201d His future is unclear but his family connection may keep him on staff.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Marc Stein reports that the Knicks are eyeing Jason Kidd and Ime Udoka as potential replacements \u2014 though both are under contract with other teams.<\/p>\n
