Knicks front office members wanted Tom Thibodeau gone at All-Star break

When the Knicks hit the All-Star break amid a 3-13 freefall, a three-game losing streak and a 25-34 record, at least two members of the front office recommended Tom Thibodeau be let go. Front-office members thought Thibodeau had, as one source put it, “lost the team.” They didn’t like some of the body language and attentiveness during timeout huddles.
