The New York Knicks found themselves in a coache enigma.
After doing the furthest they were in the 21st century (Match 6 of the Eastern Conference final), they decided that five seasons was sufficient for head coach Tom Thibodeau.
However, the Knicks are still looking for their next man on the bench, and it took them a while to get their first formal interview.

They would have made requests for several candidates, including the head coach of Dallas Mavericks, Jason Kidd, but in vain.
This is certainly a confusing period for the Knicks, but the McBride Deuce guard was not yet stressed.
“We are still positive. Everything is fine. We will make it work,” said McBride, who joked saying that the decision is “above my paygrade,” PK Press Club Digital at Fanatics Fest in New York told PK Press Club.
The fanatic festival occurred about one mile from the place where McBride plays his home games – Madison Square Garden and Javits Center are both on the 34th Street in Manhattan.

Although A-Looks like Tom Brady, LeBron James, Derek Jet and John Cena had huge follow-ups, McBride was practically no different, being just in his city.
“The love I receive is a special place. Playing in New York, there is nothing like it,” added McBride.
The Knicks dropped Thibodeau before his extension of $ 30 million even launched.
It was not so long ago that the Knicks were considered a shore in the league. They missed the playoffs for seven consecutive years before the hiring of Thibodeau and won 17 games in 2018-2019.

However, under the direction of Thibodeau, they made the qualifying series in each of the last three years, the first time they have done so since 2010-2013. They also made the playoffs in four on its five seasons, a feat not accomplished since the late 90s.
