Tom Thibodeau’s firing brought back some of the confusion and chaos the New York Knicks had seemingly left behind.

Despite winning 51 games, finishing third in the Eastern Conference and taking his team to the conference finals, the New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday.

Two-time national champion UConn coach Dan Hurley turned down the Los Angeles Lakers job a year ago, and it did not take long after the New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau for him to become top of mind for a potential move to the NBA.
