The New York Knicks parted ways with Tom Thibodeau after the team's disappointing defeat in the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers.
It's something of a historic firing from the Knicks, who are moving on from Thibodeau on the heels of a 51-win season and back-to-back campaigns with 50 or more victories. In fact, Thibodeau becomes just the second head coach in NBA history to be fired by two different teams immediately following 50-win seasons, according to HoopsHype. The only other coach to experience such a fate was former Denver Nuggets and Seattle Supersonics coach George Karl.
