The New York Knicks have let go of head coach Tom Thibodeau following their recent loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. This marked the Knicks' first conference finals appearance since 2000, where they notably defeated the Boston Celtics. Thibodeau, who had a significant impact on the team's improvement since 2020, accumulated a 226-174 record, making him one of the most successful coaches in Knicks history. Despite his success, some questioned his in-game decisions during the playoffs, leading to his dismissal approved by team president Leon Rose and owner Jim Dolan.
The decision was made by team president Leon Rose with approval from owner Jim Dolan, according to Associated Press sources.
Thibodeau's in-game decisions were questioned by some during the series, but the conference finals run was the team's first since 2000.
