Now we know who pushed Thibs out!!!!
Mr. “Key Holdovers”
Been my stance that there could only be one player and/or one assistant who could have influenced Thibs getting fired. Thibs benching Brunson in playoffs for long stints cost him their loyalty.
Thibs gave JB the keys to the offense, let him dominate. Made his Dad lead assistant. I dont believe the Brunsons were involved.
Rick must have known that there was a good chance that he wouldnt be lead assistant with a new coach.
My guess is that Dolan and Leon talked about Thibs, and were on the same page as far as a change being needed to get to the next level.
It seems more possible everyone outside of the Brunson's & Josh Hart probably favored moving on from Thibs for their own reasons.
