Former New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau won't be leading a team next season after being fired following the team's Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers. Thibodeau, 67, was the league's oldest head coach before his firing.

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

The New York City Democratic mayoral candidates have entered the Tom Thibodeau discourse. During Wednesday’s debate, each candidate had to pick a side on the thumbs up/thumbs down binary about the New York Knicks’ decision to fire Thibodeau following their Eastern Conference finals defeat to the Indiana Pacers.
