NEW YORK -- Tom Thibodeau brought the Chicago Bulls to their greatest success since Michael Jordan.
He returned the Minnesota Timberwolves to the playoffs after a 13-year absence.
All the while, there was one challenge he sought. He has seen what it's like in New York when the Knicks win and wanted to be the coach to make it happen again.
"This a dream come true for me," Thibodeau said. "This is my dream job."
He got it Thursday, when the Knicks brought the former NBA Coach of the Year back to the organization he helped reach the NBA Finals as an assistant.
