The New York Knicks announced the firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, three days after the team's elimination in the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers.
With Thibodeau now searching for his next job, the veteran boss remains a member of a distinctive club in league history: head coaches who have piled up victories but have never hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Including Thibodeau, only eight coaches in NBA history have amassed over 500 career regular-season wins, hold a regular-season winning percentage above .550 and never won an NBA Finals.
