As the Knicks’ 14th head coach in 20 years, Thibodeau has his work cut out for him. He takes over a Knicks team that, entering the 2019-20 season, averaged just over 25 wins over the last five years. Thibodeau is a former Knicks assistant and was named NBA Coach of the Year while with the Chicago Bulls, so this is indeed a significant hire.
