\n For the first time in nearly eight months, the Knicks officially have a permanent head coach.<\/p>\n

On the morning of the first day of the NBA\u2019s 22-team restart, the Knicks restarted their own franchise by announcing the hiring of defensive wizard Tom Thibodeau, their former assistant coach from the 1990\u2019s glory days.<\/p>\n

Knicks president Leon Rose has been close to Thibodeau for several years as a client for Creative Artists Agency, which Rose used to run.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom Thibodeau is a proven winner who gets the most out of the players and teams that he has coached,\u201d Rose said in a release. \u201cHe will bring leadership, accountability and a hard-working mentality to our organization. we are excited to bring him back to New York and look forward to collaborating with him and his staff toward a successful future.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Thibodeau agreed to terms on a five-year deal. Terms were not announced but some league insiders estimate the deal could be worth at least $25 million \u2014 even with a pandemic discount that likely will cause Thibodeau\u2019s Knicks debut to be played without fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to return to this historic franchise as head coach and work alongside a talented front office that I have great trust and respect for,\u201d Thibodeau said in the release. \u201cI know what New York is like when the Knicks are successful and there is nothing comparable. I look forward to being a part of what we are building here and can\u2019t wait to get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite allegations the 62-year-old Thibodeau\u2019s demanding style doesn\u2019t jive with the millennial players, the Knicks, who have missed the playoffs for seven straight seasons, are adding a coach with the best winning percentage (.589, 352-246) of any head coach hired in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

The former Bulls and Timberwolves head coach won NBA Coach of the Year in 2011 with Chicago, which he steered to five straight playoff berths. Thibodeau then broke Minnesota\u2019s 13-year playoff drought. However, there are charges he didn\u2019t connect with Minnesota\u2019s young players and he was fired in January 2019.<\/p>\n

Thibodeau will likely get an early gift of running team mini-camps in mid-August for the eight clubs not in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Thibodeau has trusted assistants Andy Greer, Larry Greer and Dice Yoshimoto he\u2019d like to hire, but Knicks VP William Wesley is pushing to add a more diverse staff. Mike Woodson, the former Knicks head coach, and Mike Miller, their recent interim coach, are strong candidates to be with Thibodeau.<\/p>\n

The Knicks interviewed a total of 11 coaches, with the search beginning June 4 after the NBA announced the team would not be part of the restart. And the Knicks waited for almost before tip-off to make their hire official after owner James Dolan had David Fizdale fired on Dec. 4.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
