New York Knicks: Five reasons Tom Thibodeau was the right hire

The New York Knicks have been without a full-time head coach since David Fizdale was relieved of his duties on December 6, 2019. Over the course of the near eight months that have followed, drastic changes have been made to the organization.

Steve Mills was replaced by Leon Rose as team president, Marcus Morris was traded for multiple draft picks, and the Knicks went 17-25 after starting the season at 4-20.

As the Knicks embraced the youth movement, found a new lead executive, and began to play winning basketball, questions inevitably grew louder about the head coaching position.
