NEW YORK — Tom Thibodeau's firing brought back some of the confusion and chaos the New York Knicks had seemingly left behind.
After an era of stability and more success than they had enjoyed in a quarter of a century, the Knicks opened a coaching search few could have predicted when they fired Thibodeau on Tuesday.
“When I first saw it, I thought it was one of those fake AI things. No way. There’s no way possible,” Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
