The New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, June 3, three days after the team lost to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.

The move comes a little less than one year since the Knicks had signed a three-year contract extension that was supposed to keep him with the franchise through the 2027-28 season.

There will be a number of candidates whom the team could go after, starting with one who used to be on their bench.
