Despite leading the New York Knicks to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time in 25 years, Tom Thibodeau is out as coach. The decision seemed hasty, but according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, the plug was pulled over usage concerns with Jalen Brunson and Thibodeau's failure to make schematic adjustments during the NBA playoffs.

The New York Knicks were considering firing former head coach Tom Thibodeau for "months" before he led his team to the 2025 Eastern Conference finals, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

The New York Knicks are making a drastic change shortly after making the conference finals and losing to the Indiana Pacers.
