The Knicks didn’t foul it up with Tom Thibodeau extension
NY Post
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to Jalen Brunson:
“Thibs is the kind of coach, you hear his voice all the time because he’s always talking about the right thing to do, the right way to play, the right pace, the right defense,” Brunson said last winter. “After a while, that voice becomes your voice.”
Listen to Josh Hart:
“Fifty wins, second seed with an injured roster for half the season and not a Coach of the Year candidate …” Hart wrote on social media last spring.
Listen to this longtime NBA insider: “I congratulated Tom when I heard the Knicks extended him [Wednesday], but what I really should have done was congratulate the Knicks for not [fouling] this up with one of the two or three best coaches in the NBA today.”
The contract extension Tom Thibodeau agreed to that’ll keep him in the fold for four more years, through his 70th birthday, was one more piece of good news for the Knicks in what’s been an abundant summer so far. This keeps the leader of the band leading the band for the foreseeable future, and that’s going to be celebrated inside the walls of the Knicks’ locker room for sure.
