Tom Thibodeau: Coaching Knicks Is My Dream Job
Tom Thibodeau was an assistant coach with the New York Knicks from 1996 until 2003.
\"This a dream come true for me,\" Thibodeau said. \"This is my dream job.\"
Thibodeau was fired by the Minnesota Timberwolves in January of 2019 and took the 19-20 season off.
\"Maybe part of that is I grew up in Connecticut. My father, my family, we grew up as Knick fans,\" Thibodeau said during a Zoom press conference. \"I think I experienced it during the \'90s that there\'s no better place to be than Madison Square Garden. And so I love challenges, I love that city, I love the arena, I love the fans and I\'m excited about the team.\"
Thibodeau is on a five-year deal with the Knicks.
