Good morning, all!
Stories emerged over the weekend about what led to the dismissal of New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau. And they were not pretty.
Thibodeau was the first coach to bring the Knicks to the conference finals in 25 years, but that did not stop the players from throwing him under the bus. Players apparently buried Thibodeau to Knicks owner James Dolan, during exit interviews. It was a reminder that in today’s sports, the tail wags the dog. I detail it all in this latest Dan On Sports podcast.
