Active NBA Player Pitched by Expert as Possible Knicks Coach After Tom Thibodeau Firing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks are officially in the market for a new head coach despite winning 50 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in three decades.

Tom Thibodeau and the New York Knicks ended up losing a hard-fought series in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Indiana Pacers last week. It was an incredibly entertaining series, but the Knicks simply did not have enough to pull out the win.

The group of Hart, Bridges, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns had a net rating of minus-6.2 in the postseason, per NBA.com. Thibodeau finally made a change ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, replacing Hart with Mitchell Robinson, but by that point, the Knicks were already in an 0-2 hole.
