Sooner rather than later, the Knicks’ best coach in two decades — the man most responsible from turning a franchise from rubble to respectability — deserves a contract extension.
Think, if you dare, where the Knicks stood before Tom Thibodeau. Think about the endless cycle of coaches, the dysfunction and wasted energy. The millions down the drain. Think about the coach missing practice because of a love triangle and a Matt Barnes right hook. Or the coach liking Twitter porn. Or the coach peddling delusion while winning 17 games.
Thibodeau’s deal? It expires after the 2024-25 season. Sooner rather than later, the Knicks’ best coach in two decades — the man most responsible from turning a franchise from rubble to respectability —“ has extremely important, for the culture, holding each other accountable, all that different type of stuff. He’s extremely important,” Randle said Friday. “What he does day in and day out to prepare not only himself but to prepare our team, it’s vital. I think we take a lot from it.
Beyond the significance of locking in and rewarding a proven commodity — thereby promoting the “continuity” that has become the new franchise buzzword — it’s hard to coach without security. But we know what happened next. The coach adjusted his rotation and style, skewing younger and bucking his reputation. Thibodeau’s offense finished fourth in the NBA. He helped push one of the NBA’s youngest rosters to a playoff series victory, the franchise’s furthest advancement in a decade.
