Tom Thibodeau spoke in his introductory news conference about how the Knicks were his dream job, but his predecessors in the role of head coach over the last 20 years could warn him that it can quickly turn into a nightmare.
With a roster bereft of stars and a cast of veterans who could be on the way out, Thibodeau’s success this season may rest on his ability to get more out of the young players on the team. It didn’t work out for David Fizdale or Mike Miller, but Thibodeau has been watching film and could begin to work with the likes of RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Kevin Knox and Frank Ntilikina next week.
