The Knicks Have Finally Landed Some Head Coaching Interviews

The Knicks are looking for their their next head man after moving off of Tom Thibodeau despite back-to-back 50+ win seasons and an Eastern Conference Finals appearance.

Not everyone agreed with the decision, however. Including Detroit Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff who sounded off on New York letting Thibs go during a Friday appearance on ESPN Radio.

"I don't want to call it the cherry on top, but it's the final straw, I think, of what has happened this season and the level of respect that we feel coaches deserve versus what they are getting," Bickerstaff explained. "Some of the decisions made down the stretch with firing coaches, it just shows that there are some places that don't value what coaching is and what it can bring."

"When you are a coach, you feel like there is a job that you have been told to do. And when you go out and do that job well, you should carry it over to the next year. If you have had past successes, that should envision future successes," he argued. You can"t guess what the future is going to look like with somebody new."

Hall of Famer and NBA analyst Charles Barkley has already gone on record that the Knicks are the "stupidest damn people" and legendary sportscaster Dick Vitale referred to Thibodeau's firing as "embarrassing."

Time will tell if it ends up being the right move for New York. But history says they haven't made many since the turn of the millennium.
