Analyzing Tom Thibodeau’s track record with player development as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves
Last week, the New York Knicks hired former Bulls and Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau to a five-year contract to become the franchise’s next head coach.
Since the Knicks’ 1999 finals run, the team has had 14 different head coaches, and Tom Thibodeau is the latest to put his hat in the ring to restore the league’s sleeping giant to prominence. The Knicks have been plagued with a myriad of instability and drama, and the franchise is hoping that the loud and ardent Thibodeau can be a stabilizing figure for years to come.
