I am sorry can he compare Kidd to Thibs last job with the Wolves?

Thibs **** the bed, but no one is up in arms because he is likely to be hired due to nepotism. Honestly, I am done with this team if they hire Thibs. I can’t stand Nepotism, it’s literally a recipe for disaster.

Or when Joe Torre was fired from his first two MLB gigs for sucking?
Remember when Larry Brown went to the finals twice then too the knicks gig?
do we really want to indict Thibs for just one season and not the circumstances? Thibs vs. Paxton and Foreman, and crazy dumb Glen Taylor? Thibs role of power would not be the same here as it was in Minny.
Thibs has a common trait of intensity that has delivered. Can it be harnessed? Nepotism is when the person is not qualified for the position. Thibs is.
He will be as good as the talent he is given to work with. Does he have a history of bringing out the best in players and how to keep it from turning negative.

Everything you said can be said for any coach on a second, third, or fourth gig.

His system both offensively (the triangle) and defensively (ICE) has been decoded and reverse engineered by the rest of the league and are now ineffective. It’s not like Atkinson when he got a bad deal, he was with the wolves that were more talented that what the Knicks have and stunk it up. He literally controlled who that team had on the roster, traded for a top 15 player in Butler and they got into the first round and loss. It’s legitimately one of the biggest failures in recent memory not involving the Knicks and he wasn’t getting interest at all (just like SVG’s not). That is until the Knicks started talking about him, because the rest of the league knows his time is done.

The Nepotism of it is he was set up to win before they even interviewed him. They then conducted interviews and based off of stories will not hire the best guy (or one of the best guys) to instead hire their friend. It’s Nepotism and the same stink that has been around Dolan and MSG for decades.

It’s another Knicks crap show. All these coaches are heavily flawed (outside of Atkinson who is only flawed in his own way, or new unknowns, and yet the Knicks are probably picking the most flawed one.

So here is another example of someone doing great on the interview but being skipped over because nepotism. I hate that, that is how the Knicks is still operating. Grab the best candidate.

Agreed- I have reservations about his choice of shirt in that vid, but at the end of the day go with the best candidate (and that may very well be Thibs), not your old buddy

All Thibs has done in this league is win at every level.... but he's a retread? Or according to wargames its nepotism.

You know Doc Rivers was retread before he won in Boston? Did you know Rick Carlisle was retread before winning a title in Dallas?

Literally I have no idea what you guys are looking at.

How did Derrick Fisher work out? Fizdale? Imagine NOT hiring a guy because he checks all the boxes.. same old Knick fans!

Really? Same old Knicks because they hired someone with coaching experience?

I’ll be honest if it wasn’t for the fact Thibs was celebrating like he got his job because his buddy was made the POBO I wouldn’t look at him with as much disgust...... add to that his offensive/defensive flaws, his history of winning games by playing his starters to long, and the fact he completely crapped the bed with the Wolves and Nah I don’t expect him to make the Knicks a winner. This feels like a Larry Brown redux

Thibs is celebrating? Shyt, I was not at that party!!! damn.
Or, you just all upset that media keep saying he a lock despite the 11 interviews?
Let me say that no reporter is in on the interview so its all hearsay. In fact I hope Thibs did a great job but someone else blew the knicks away thats even better!!!! If we listened to media reagarding sports rumors we’d be all about KD’s health about now. There was a “lock” if we ever read one.
I read Giannis parents from Nigeria as is Udoka, so there might be a connection. seems like a stretch.
I don’t hear Steph curry pining anymore about missing mark Jax after he was fired. He gives him respect which is no doubt deserved. Knicks had Kerr on verbal at the time! Bottom line is talent. Kerr’s spinal issue and Melo would have likely been too much fo him to continue as knicks struggle for talent would have been.

End of the day if Knicks success will be mostly because of talent gains and not from who is the coach.
