New York Knicks Fire Head Coach Tom Thibodeau

The Knicks have decided to move on from Thibodeau with belief that it is a necessary step in their chase for a championship.

The New York Knicks made what they called a “difficult decision” Tuesday.

Tom Thibodeau just took the team to the Eastern Conference finals. That marked the deepest play-off March in 25 years for the franchise.

However, the Knicks have decided to move on from Thibodeau with belief that it is a necessary step in their chase for a championship.

Team President, Leon Rose, thanked him for his success as head coach with four playoff berths and four playoff series victories. However, he said ousting tom is best for the organization moving forward.

The Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers with a loss in Game 6 on Saturday night, falling two games short of their first NBA finals appearance since 1999.

It is unclear who will replace Thibodeau at this time.
