Nothing with the Knicks is surefire until Leon Rose pens one of his rare press releases or makes one of his even rarer appearances. However, on Wednesday morning Bleacher Report writer Jake Fischer reported Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is expected to retain his job through this season, to the chagrin of more than half the Knicks fan base.
Thibodeau’s job performance has drawn justifiable jeers this season after an over-achieving fourth seed record and a playoff appearance last season. For some Knicks fans, his lack of adjustments and simplistic offensive schemes in last year’s Atlanta Hawks playoff series left more to be desired.
