Tom Thibodeau has won the Coach Of The Year Award!

Tom Thibodeau has won the Coach Of The Year Award! The first-year head coach of the New York Knicks is making an impressive name for himself; even though having a career with the Chicago Bulls a decade ago, he is doing it again. Not only did he win this award but he took his team to the playoffs and out of all the teams in the world… it was the Knicks. So, huge congratulations as that is significant. The Knicks are finally relevant again, they have good/key players, and a great HC that knows what he is doing.

The results have been shared within the past 30 minutes and it was a close one as Thibs only beat out Phoenix Sun’s HC, Monty Williams, by 11 votes total. Even though Monty did win the first place votes and was two ahead of Thibs; however, 11 votes sealed the deal for Thibs allowing him to pick up his second COY Award!

NYC’s coach makes some EPIC history!

Yes, the Knicks are making history (and for the right side of history). As Thibodeau is the first head coach in NBA History to win two Coach Of The Year Awards in his first-year with two of the franchises he coached for. Obviously the Knicks, but his first coaching gig happened with the Chicago Bulls. When surprisingly Derrick Rose won MVP with Thibs; so it is ironic to have both of them on the same team for Thibs to win another award.

Also, this is the third Knick’s head coach to win this award. It was him, Pat Riley in ’93, and then Red Holzman in ’70.

Mark Daigneault is promoted HC by OKC!

Mark Daigneault is promoted HC by OKC! With the departure of former head coach Billy Donovan, they were on the search for a new coach. They have found one… right in their own organization.

Yep, you heard me correctly. As the Oklahoma City Thunder promoted their assistant head coach to be their full time head coach. This move does not come as such a shock due to the fact of his fast uprising in the G-Legaue. He was actually their G-League head coach for six years.

Daigneault did a pretty good job as their G-League coach; he led the team to a. 572 winning record, plus reaching to three-division titles.

Great optimism by Mark Daigneault:

“The opportunity to be the head coach of the Thunder is truly a special honor,” Daigneault said in a statement released by the team. “Over my six years in Oklahoma City, I’ve developed a deep commitment to the organization and care for what is truly a special community that I call home. From my first day here, my values have always been aligned with those of the organization, and I’m looking forward to helping them continue to be lived out on and off the court.”

Daigneault has so much support around the organization, which is very positive. A lot of reasons for the support would be for his connection with players, making long term and short term adjustments, and his overall coaching attitude.

This is what OKC’s President has to say about them hiring him:

“We are thrilled to have Mark assume the role of head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder,” Presti said in a statement. “He has been a selfless and effective leader within our organization since his arrival in 2014. Mark is a values-based leader, continuous learner, and someone that will help us continue the repositioning of our organization on and off the court.”

Donovan and OKC part ways after five seasons with the organization!

Donovan and OKC part ways after five seasons with the organization! Yesterday evening it was announced that the Thunder and former head coach, Billy Donovan, will be splitting ways.

This comes after his contract had expired after they lost in the postseason. Now, both sides had the option to talk about extensions; but sadly, both sides declined to have talked of an extension.

“We had planned to sit down at the end of the season and discuss the best way to move forward for both of us,” Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. “After those discussions, it became apparent that we couldn’t provide him the information on the future direction of the team over the next several seasons to give him the level of clarity that he understandably desires at this stage of his career. Therefore, we close this chapter and reflect fondly on all that he has given to the team, organization, and community. Billy will always have a place in the Thunder family.”

What did Billy Donovan (the HC) say in his statement to his departure with the organization?

This is what he prior to both splitting:

“This place will always be special to us. I will always hold this organization in the highest regard and wish the Thunder and their fans the success they deserve,” Donovan said in a statement.

What kind of teams is interested and what kind of teams have availability for their positions?

Currently, the Bulls are open to the decision of making Billy Donovan their next head coach. This comes with no shock as they fired their last head coach about a month ago.

Now, they are having first-round interviews with other head coaching candidates.

The teams that desperately need a new head coach would be the 76ers, Pelicans, and the Pacers. Those teams need a head coach after making some moves/changes this past month or so.

This will be interesting on how things play out for all the head coaching rumors and ideas that are going to be made very soon.

HEY! Before you get off the article, listen up.

Before you click off this page, article, or feel like reading something else of courtsideheat.com‘s. We will be posting an article of where we think, and what the probability is, for where Billy Donovan will be going. So, stay on the lookout for that. That article should be published within the next few days.
