Other candidates known to have talked with Rose and the Knicks were Jason Kidd, Kenny Atkinson, Mike Woodson, Mike Brown, Ime Udoka, Will Hardy, Pat Delaney, Jamahl Mosley, Chris Fleming and Knicks interim coach Mike Miller. Thibodeaus decades-long relationship with Rose made him an early favorite, despite the teams intention to interview at least 11 candidates. I look forward to being a part of what we are building here and cant wait to get to work. I know what New York is like when the Knicks are successful and there is nothing comparable. Im grateful for the opportunity to return to this historic franchise as head coach and work alongside a talented front office that I have great trust in and respect for, Thibodeau said. Thibodeau, who previously was the head coach of the Chicago Bulls (2010-15) and Minnesota Timberwolves (2016-19), had been considered the frontrunner for the job and had a formal interview in early July. We are excited to bring him back to New York and look forward to collaborating with him and his staff toward a successful future. He will bring leadership, accountability and a hard-working mentality to our organization.
Tom Thibodeau is a proven winner who gets the most out of the players and teams that he has coached, Rose said in a team release Thursday. The former Knicks assistant coach (1996-2004) signed a five-year deal to guide a rapid rebuild alongside new team president Leon Rose.
