Tom Thibodeau, former coach of the New York Knicks, took to The New York Times to express gratitude following his dismissal. In a full-page ad, he acknowledged the team's fans and the emotional connection he felt coaching his childhood team. Despite recent successes, including back-to-back 50-win seasons and a surprising playoff run, the Knicks decided to part ways with Thibodeau. As the team seeks his replacement, this moment serves as a poignant reminder of his impact on the franchise and its supporters.
Under Thibodeau, the fourth-winningest coach in franchise history, New York notched back-to-back 50-win seasons for the first time since the 1993-94 and 1994-95 campaigns.
In the advertisement, which marks the 67-year-old's first public sentiment since being let go, Thibodeau reiterated that coaching the Knicks, whom he cheered for as a child, was his dream job.
