Kenny has plenty of flaws himself. I for whatever reason actually watched Nets games (I'm in NYC). He's a good coach with a heavy set of flaws. But he's a newer coach that may grow.
Not saying Thibs is the right choice either though.

Brett Brown coached circles around him in the playoffs.
I don't love Thibs but he has a successful track record and I think the young players could benefit from a hard *** instead of a friend like Fizdale.

we saw Pringles coach circles around thibs and thibs play his starters up 53 in a playoff game. We’ve seen playmakers have career years under Atkinson. Joe Harris’ career was left for dead. The Knicks thinking about free agency instead of building through the draft

I think that was more of a personnel advantage than anything else.

Thibs got the job because of his connections. He's repped by CAA I believe and the Knicks are like a CAA subsidiary

I honestly don’t have a problem with the Thibs hire. It’s not a great move, but it’s not a terrible one either.
For that team, a coach who is a known quantity and gets his teams to play hard makes sense. Not like they’re going to be competing for rings anytime soon anyway. If Thibs can get them to being consistently competitive on a nightly basis, that would be a win for the Knicks.
Thibs has his flaws, but he is a good coach. I think a big part of his problem in Minny was being coach and GM. I’m thoroughly convinced nobody should ever have those dual roles.

Unless he has evolved his actual coaching style and stops running his players into the ground, they're going to hate him by year 2. Think he's best served as a DC like with Doc.

Thibbs seems tailor made for college. He can have all the control he wants and players will shuttle in and out every year.

Knicks making sensible moves by going for a sensible coach whereas the Bulls are out here doing ******* and still stuck with Boylen
