Report: Tom Thibodeau Wants to Coach the Knicks

A somewhat stunning coaching vacancy suddenly materialized today in New York, and according to ESPN, Tom Thibodeau would love to fill it.

Thibs, 58, was canned by the Chicago Bulls last season but remains one of the most highly-coveted coaching free agents out there.

The fiery, defensive-minded coach, spent the majority of his NBA career with the Knicks as an assistant (1996–2004).
