The New York Knicks fire coach Tom Thibodeau after their best playoff run in 25 years.

The New York Knicks have fired head coach Tom Thibodeau following their Eastern Conference finals appearance, their best showing in 25 years. Thibodeau led the team to four playoff appearances in his five-year tenure, but the Knicks' management decided to move in a new direction to pursue a championship. Despite his success, including a 226-174 regular-season record, Thibodeau's dismissal suggests the team is looking for a fresh approach to reach the NBA Finals.
