The NBA world is still making their own decisions about how the Thibodeau situation has unfolded, but tennis legend John McEnroe was delivered the news by his brother, Patrick McEnroe, during the Carlos Alcaraz match and he was clearly a bit upset by it.
McEnroe called it a "harsh" decision by the Knicks organization after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals this season and making the playoffs in four of the last five seasons since Thibodeau came back to the team.
ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania revealed what the Knicks are looking for in their next head coach, however, it's still unclear which candidates will emerge in the job sweepstakes to take on one of the biggest roles in the NBA.
