Occupation

I went ahead and changed the info box listing for Thibodeau's occupation. He was listed as "NBA head coach" and was listed as being employed by the Boston Celtics. I am not sure if someone added this because he accepted a deal as head coach of the Bulls, but in that case his employer shouldn't be listed as the Boston Celtics. Either way it is incorrect to say he is the head coach of Boston so until the Bulls deal is made official it is probably best just to list him as assistant coach of the Celtics, which he is.98.193.50.136 (talk) 21:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, good change. Thanks. Someone had updated the infobox to say that he was head coach of the Bulls. I changed the employer to the Celtics, because he can't officially join the Bulls yet, but I forgot to change the occupation title. Zagalejo^^^ 21:37, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Summary section

The summary section at the top of the article definitely needs some work. Admittedly I'm not motivated enough to do it right now, but I thought I would at least leave a note. There are a couple of sentences that just don't make sense or are incomplete. 75.86.176.32 (talk) 02:30, 10 January 2015 (UTC)James[reply]

Yeah, I think you're referring to this. I've reverted that edit. Zagalejo^^^ 03:49, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please update Tom Thibodeau's wiki to reflect the following changes: - Remove position section with Minnesota Timberwolves - Update Career History to say: "2016-2019 Minnesota Timberwolves" - Add paragraph to his Minnesota Timberwolves section to say: "On January 6, 2019 the Timberwolves relieved Thibodeau of his coaching and front office duties, and promoted Ryan Saunders as interim head coach."

New York Knicks

Recent reports are that he's going to be the next head coach of the New York Knicks. The Knicks themselves have not reported it, notable reporters like Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN have (https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1287073651880267776). It's a 5 year deal, salary not yet disclosed (https://www.si.com/nba/2020/07/25/tom-thibodeau-knicks-coaching-contract)
