Knicks Rumors: Pros and Cons of hiring Tom Thibodeau in 2020

Interim head coach Mike Miller overachieved with the New York Knicks in 2019-20. He took a team that started the season at 4-20 and led it to a 17-25 record over the course of the final 42 games of the season—a monumental turnaround.

With the hiring of a new team president, however, the head coaching job is under review once more—and Miller has some competition for a long-term contract.

It’s important to note that Miller hasn’t yet been relieved of his duties as interim head coach. It’s entirely possible that team president Leon Rose will choose to keep him on board, citing his success with a young and promising roster.
