Hey basketball fans! π
The New York Knicks have big news! They have decided to let go of their head coach, Tom Thibodeau, after their recent exit from the NBA Playoffs.
Leon Rose, the president of the Knicks, said, “Our main goal is to win a championship for our amazing fans. It’s been a tough decision, but we’ve decided to move in a new direction.” He thanked Coach Thibodeau for all his hard work over the past five seasons.
Under Coach Thibodeau, the Knicks made it to the playoffs four times and even reached the Eastern Conference Finals this season for the first time in 25 years! That’s a big deal! π
However, some people thought Coach Thibodeau worked the top players too hard. Three Knicks players were in the top 10 for most minutes played this season: Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby.
Now, everyone is wondering who will be the next coach and what this means for the team’s future. What do you think? Share your thoughts! π¬
