Knicks Fire Thibodeau After Deepest Playoff Run in 25 Years

June 2025

The New York Knicks have fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, just three days after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
Despite back-to-back 50-win, Thibodeau was fired due to his outdated coaching style, overreliance on starters, lack of Finals appearances, and a shift in team vision toward a modern, championship-focused approach.
