Recognizing the growth of an imperfect but great coach

Tom Thibodeau still gets his share of blame when things don’t go right for the Knicks.

Take a look at post-game threads on this very site, tune into any post-game show on YouTube, or head on over to X (formerly known as Twitter) and you’ll get the idea of what fans are saying and their feelings—you are likely to see a fair share of criticisms aimed at the Knicks coach.

While some fans are just delusional or have a personal vendetta against him, some of the critique is warranted. Thibodeau is a coach who has very clear weaknesses and flaws that include but are not limited to, being slow to make necessary adjustments, being stubborn, and leaving players in too long.
