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.

Rockets are interviewing Jeff Van Gundy for the HC job!

Rockets are interviewing Jeff Van Gundy for the HC job! A reunion happening between the two? Appears to be that way as the Rockets are interviewing Jeff Van Gundy for their head coaching position!

Jeff Van Gundy should be familiar with what the Rockets are looking for in a head coach, how? Because Gundy used to work for the team, he was a head coach for them for four years. Over those four years of coaching, he led the team to a winning percentage of .555.

Also, it doesn’t stop right there, the Rockets went to the playoffs three out of the four times. Now, he did have a playoff record of 7-12. After those four seasons, the Rockets had enough. They decided to cut ties with him and search for a new head coach. This led Gundy to work for ESPN in 2006-2007, which by then he was fired.

Jeff Van Gundy isn’t the only interviewee; the team has two other coaches ready for the job too!

Competition at it’s finest as Van Gundy won’t have a strolling reunion, if it happens. He will have to go through Ty Lue and John Lucas, who are also contenders for this position.

The Rockets interviewed Lue on Monday, but the thing is this. He has been getting buzz and being drawn to different areas. For example, the Clippers and Pelicans have had interest in him. The reason for all this interest? Is because he is a proven winner in Cleveland and he has shown great control over massive egos and making sure his team wins. There are more reasons, but that outlines it.

The Clippers could get before the Rockets because they have Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Patrick Beverly, and a good bench. That would be solid and it would be one of the hottest teams heading into next season, why? Because of their determination to make it back to the postseason, not get eliminated like they did this past postseason, and have PG13 and Kawhi have memorable careers in LA.

What’s the deal with John Lucas?

John Lucas, if you didn’t know, is the Rocket’s assistant head coach. He began to work with the team during the 2016-2017 season, Lucas has been in the NBA for more than four decades now. He has been a player in this league in the 80s and early 90s, then been bouncing and hanging around the league trying to be a coach.

Also, to mention, Lucas has a .401 winning percent as a head coach.

Pacers have fired Nate McMillan!

Pacers have fired Nate McMillan! Just like Brett Brown getting fired after being swept in the playoffs; same happened to Nate McMillan. McMillan was reportedly fired by the Pacers because of being swept in the playoffs by the Heat.

Now, as this is interesting, the Pacers reworked his contract this past month. The Pacers reworked his final year with the Pacers for the 2020-2021 season, plus gave him a team option. This all came to a soft extension.

There’s something fierce on the radar!

There’s something fierce on the radar! Oh yes, you read that correctly. Because with Mike D’Antoni, who’s in the final year of his contract with the Rockets, will become available for the Pacers. Mike D’Antoni has been someone that the Pacers are reportedly seeking interest in, this was the only HC that they have announced publicly they wanted.

There’s no luck of the Irish for McMillan…

Even though in the four seasons he was the head coach for the Pacers and had a record of 183-136; that didn’t matter as such. Why? Because this is his second time in a row, back-to-back, that his team was swept in the first round of the playoffs.

First by the Celtics and then by the Heat, which is happening right now.

Plus, to make matters even worse, the Pacers haven’t reached the second round in the playoffs since 2014. Also, after Monday’s loss to the Miami Heat; this made a franchise-record of nine straight playoff game losses.

Someone thinks it was “ridiculous” for the Pacers to fire HC McMillan!

The team that swept McMillan’s team thought it was ridiculous to fire him. His name is Erik Spoelstra, head coach of the Miami Heat. Here’s the quote:

“It seems totally ridiculous. It seems like you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. Just two weeks ago at the beginning of our series you’re giving him an extension, but really it’s just a media fake extension to appease whatever they felt like they needed to appease. And then after this series to make that quick of an emotional decision is really disappointing,” he said.

This is what the Pacers’ President had to say on the firing of McMillan:

“On behalf of the Simon family and the Pacers organization, I’d like to thank Nate for his years with the team,” Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. “This was a very hard decision for us to make; but we feel it’s in the best interest of the organization to move in a different direction. Nate and I have been through the good times and the bad times; and it was an honor to work with him for those 11 years (in Indiana and Portland).”
