Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau wants to build on offseason learning program

NEW YORK _ The Knicks will finish off their group workouts Wednesday afternoon, but Tom Thibodeau hopes that the offseason learning program will continue.

It will in some way in the short term with the Knicks returning to individual workouts until the Oct. 6 deadline that teams left out of the NBA's bubble restart were allowed to conduct workouts through. But inheriting a roster that might not be around when the actual season begins, Thibodeau knows there are few certainties in this strange season.

"For us, particularly being a new staff I think it was critical just to get to know the players and players get to know us, and then to put in the base of the offense, base of the defense, to give them an idea of how practice will be run and that sort of thing," Thibodeau said in a Zoom conference call.
