Tom Thibodeau keeps getting hired, and the Bulls keep losing
The Knicks have hired Tom Thibodeau as their head coach. He had a 255-139 record with the Bulls.I miss Tom Thibodeau, the new coach of the New York Knicks. I miss the way his croaky voice cuts through roaring crowds and stadium music as if they were mumbled prayers. I miss his answers to reporters’ questions – answers that sound like they’re going somewhere but then pull over to a rest area for a nap.
I miss his coaching, the way all his years of soaking up information from his bosses have funneled into a man who can’t be fooled by his players’ deficiencies. He knows, and they know that he knows.
