New York Knicks Co-Owner James Dolan Officially Fires Tom Thibodeau After Hot Start

New York Knicks Co-Owner James Dolan has officially fired head coach Tom Thibodeau,

The New York Knicks are off to a disappointing 25-30 start this season. After a hot start to begin the season, the Knicks have lost 11 of their last 12 games. The Knicks have fallen to 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and are now 5.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the final play-in spot.

Thibodeau was in his fourth season as head coach of the Knicks, and he led the team to the playoffs in 2021.

However, the Knicks have failed to take the next step under Thibodeau, and they have been plagued by inconsistency and poor defense this season. The Knicks are now expected to begin a coaching search, and they have been linked to several potential candidates, including former Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder and current Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham. The Knicks are hoping to make a deep playoff run this season, and they will need to find a coach who can help them reach their potential.
