Despite the ongoing speculation, according to Fred Katz and James Edwards of The Athletic,the Knicks have decided to retain Thibodeau for next season.
"The coach has the backing of team president Leon Rose," the Athletic reports. "As well as full buy-in from Brunson, who signed with the Knicks in 2022 in part because he wanted to play for Thibodeau. But ultimately, owner James Dolan is the final decision-maker."
Since taking over in 2020, Thibodeau has guided the Knicks to four playoff appearances in five seasons, culminating this year in the team’s deepest postseason run in over two decades. He was also named NBA Coach of the Year in his first season with the franchise (2020–21).
