Report: Tom Thibodeau wants the Knicks' head coaching job

Okay, if Thibs ain't too proud to beg then you prolly won't get a better coach from the purest perspective. I've always been skeptical of him but if he wants it that bad, he'd maybe be open to an X's and O's offensive coach handling that stuff while he does what he does best...gets 'em to work hard always and builds a strong defensive identity. Just let the guy tweak the triangle to implement pick and rolls, a high pick and roll scheme mixed in would be enough.

My dude, all I'm saying is Fish could have thrived with a roster that actually fits the offense he was forced to run because Fish knows the offense and unlike Kerr and Walton, his team will play defense. This mess is Phil's fault but no one wants to blame him because he's a Euro — not 'cause he's a winner. Doc is a winner and is blamed all the time. Popovich isn't blamed for losing in the 1st round to the Clipps. People have admitted that the roster doesn't fit the offense, but still blamed Fish for sticking to the offense — as if Fish has free reign to just run another offense. All of a sudden, we got amnesia that Phil is stubborn over the Triangle.

And I'm quoting random people. I quoted other Knicks fans that feel the same way. I don't mind if they go in another direction, as long as he's given the opportunity that Fish wasn't given. Fish tanked (no pun), ran Phil's offense (even with the wrong roster) — did everything that was asked of him and he was fired for it. It's not right and it won't bring the fans what they deserve — a ch'ip.

:patrice: Ehhhh I don't know about any of this. Now I agree that oftentimes our ppl are quick to feel the white mans ice cubes are colder but......in this case Fisher was really just a shytty piss poor coach. He wasn't ready. Plain and simple. Yeah he was a puppet. Yeah Jackson forced the triangle on him. But the in game decisions (or lack thereof) was all Fisher. Why would PJax insist Vujacic get minutes every game? And start to begin the season? Why would PJax sign Rolo to big money and tell Fisher to bench him in 4th quarters? Why would he tell him to stay with lineups for too long that are getting cooked defensively?
Every time the camera used to cut to Fish during play action his expression was always :birdman:
Dog...you don't have any instructions?? For anybody? You aint even got shyt to say to the refs?? How bout assistants? The bench? Nothing? just straight up :birdman: every time huh?

:camby:He did not know what he was doing and he has more than enough quotables to prove it.

When the going got tough he quit on the team fam. JVG also can't make adjustments on the fly as a coach. He's so stuck in his ways it's detrimental to the team. When the NBA game got faster & smaller he couldn't keep up & was exposed out west when he was the Rockets coach. Yeah he was loyal to certain players but I'm more critical of his coaching & how he left our team.


A post like this, to me, especially with the bolded, proves you did not watch him coach at all.

Just stick to the regular knick-related hot takes. And don't pretend to know about some shyt you clearly have no knowledge about. You're wasting website bandwidth.

any knick fan saying they dont want thibs is a fakkit. Yeah who doesnt want to be a top4 seed every year :shaq2:

Thibs will run dudes into the ground. And I'm not sure players want to play for him, Outside of Jimmy Butler. How many shots at free agency did he have to end with nothing.

Can't run offensive plays either. This team can play defense, dont know what Thibs adds other than being a loud cac coach to placate Knick's fans 90s nostalgia.

After Firing Fisher, Knicks Should Hire Thibodeau

So it’s onto the next Knicks coach for Phil Jackson, or is Garden chairman James Dolan going to pull rank and make the choice as to who replaces Derek Fisher on a full-time basis?

No one knows for sure, but in both cases, it can’t be a very comforting feeling for Knicks fans.

In fact, you could almost expect the worse from Jackson, whose coaching tree features a handful of men with losing records, and Dolan, who always seems to make the wrong choices when it comes to his basketball team.

But maybe in this case Dolan will shock Knicks fans. Maybe he’ll listen to his basketball consigliere, Isiah Thomas, who also moonlights as the WNBA New York Liberty president, another Garden entity.

Thomas reportedly recommended to Dolan that Fisher had to go, and now there are whispers in the Garden that Thomas is going to try to convince Dolan to hire former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.

As if there needs to be any convincing.

But you never know with Dolan, who gave Jackson the keys to the franchise, even knowing that the Zen Master had never run a team in his life. Look at what $60 million bought Dolan: A second straight team steaming toward the lottery, but without a No.1 draft pick this time to help ease the pain.

Thibodeau’s hiring makes almost too much sense. Unlike Fisher, who was tone-deaf to what Knicks fans need to hear from the head coach and still was making rookie mistakes in his second season on the bench, Thibodeau is a proven coach. He knows how to develop players — see Jimmy Butler, a former No. 30 selection in 2011 and now a tried-and-true All-Star. He knows what needs to be said in the Big Apple AAPL +0.23%. Plus he’s a former Knick assistant who knows the in’s and out’s of corporate Madison Square Garden, meaning the good and the bad of the place.

Aren't you the cornball E-Thug piece of cock snot that wanted to "shoot the fade" with me? I'll go back to ignoring your condescending ass while you keep caping for homosexuals & getting run out of the Locker Room acting like Drake bytch wanting to log off the coli. Why don't you log off & go cry in Marvins Room & choke on a biscuit flavored dikk

I dont have an issue with scrapping the Triangle or some type of coherent offense but Thibs and Mark Jackson :dead:

SAS :snoop: saying Phil could be going to back LA to run the Lakers after the season. Phil aint happy in NY

The Matt Barnes issue was the beginning of the end. Lot of folks around the league looked at Fisher differently.
