Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau after 5 seasons, conference finals run: Source
The New York Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, a league source confirmed.
Thibodeau, 67, led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals this season, their furthest playoff run since 1999-2000, but the team saw its best chance at reaching the finals end in a disappointing six-game defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. In five seasons in New York, he went 226-174 in the regular season, leading the team to the playoffs four times.

Lake Nona High School defensive back has not only added his first scholarship offers, but has seen bigger and bigger programs jump in on the hot streak. Advertisement It hit another level on Wednesday night when Michigan came calling. The son of the former UM Heisman Trophy winner and NFL legend of the same name, Jr. also got to experience the news with his father simultaneously. "The secondary coach (LaMar Morgan) called my head coach a week ago," Woodson Jr. said. "Then the head coach (Sherrone Moore) told me and my dad to call him. "We're pretty excited about it. I mean it's where my dad went so it's pretty special and it's a huge program so it means a lot." The rising-junior prep recruit has of course been to Ann Arbor in the past, where he was able to experience the legacy he now has an opportunity to continue.
