Jay Wright will not be the next head coach of the New York Knicks. The former Villanova men's basketball coach has informed the organization that he's not interested in succeeding Tom Thibodeau and will remain retired.
Former Villanova coach Jay Wright reportedly won't be in the mix for the New York Knicks' head coaching vacancy.
There's no telling what actually led to Tom Thibodeau being booted from the New York Knicks job aside from not getting the job done this season, though the fallout is beginning to generate some interesting buzz.
The New York Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau days after being eliminated from the postseason, the team announced on Tuesday.
INDIANAPOLIS — The responses were in hushed tones, the kind often reserved for humbling, season-ending losses like the one the Knicks suffered Saturday in a 125-108 beatdown by the Indiana Pacers that dashed New York's hopes of making the NBA Finals.
INDIANAPOLIS: Pascal Siakam scored 31 points, Tyrese Haliburton had 21 points and 13 assists, and the Indiana Pacers pulled away for a 125-108 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 6 on Saturday night to reach the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history. Obi Toppin added 18 points and six rebounds against his former team as the gold-clad crowd gave the starters a roaring ovation when they departed with 47.2 seconds left. Indiana will visit Oklahoma City for Game 1 on Thursday night. OG Anunoby led the Knicks with 24 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson added 19 points as the Pacers’ relentless ball pressure forced New York into 17 turnovers. The Knicks still have not reached the Finals since 1999, and they couldn’t extend the series in a game that was tough and physical right from the start. Whether it was Towns limping after drawing a foul or Haliburton holding his jaw when he took a shot that knocked him to the ground, the tone was set early — and never really changed with so much at stake. Indiana finally broke open a close game by opening the second half on a 9-0 run to take a 78-63 lead courtesy of three straight 3-pointers — two from Thomas Bryant and one from Andrew Nembhard.
The Indiana Pacers are back in the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years.
INDIANAPOLIS — Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton made sure the Indiana Pacers gave their fans a celebration they waited 25 years to see again.
