Knicks Fired Tom Thibodeau over Jalen Brunson's Usage, Schematic Shortcomings During NBA Playoffs, per Report

  • Following their six-game defeat to Indiana in the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Knicks decided to part ways with head coach Tom Thibodeau this week.
  • The decision was influenced by concerns over Thibodeau's heavy use of the team's star guard, who faced time sidelined this season due to ankle and calf injuries.
  • Brunson averaged 26 points and 7.3 assists this season, playing nearly 38 minutes per game in the playoffs, while the Brunson-Towns pick-and-roll efficiency declined after February.
  • A league source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that Thibodeau was "out-coached" in the playoffs, and the Knicks front office and players grew tired of his old-school, grind-heavy style.
  • Thibodeau's firing leaves the Knicks searching for their 32nd head coach, aiming for a voice that better manages player usage and offensive adjustments.
