Knicks Going ALL-IN on Tom Thibodeau – Robinson SHOCKING Comments on Return | Knicks News

The New York Knicks appear to be all in on Tom Tibido and also Mitchell Robinson has made some shocking comments on his return to the Knicks and we have to talk about this so what’s up guys welcome back to Nicks digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to waste no time jumping

Right into the video today because the New York Knicks appear to be all in on Tom Tibido as an article from the athletic discussed that tips’s current deal runs through the 2425 season but League sources say he hopes to secure his future with the Knicks when both

Sides plan to revisit the topic this summer and sources say that tibs makes around 7 million per year and all signs point to a well deserved raise being likely so obviously that is massive news as since Tom Tibido got here like most coaches in sports he’s kind of not

Exactly going to have the entire fan base behind him but I would say more of the fan base is behind extending Tom Tibido I’m going to put a poll out on this actually to officially see what you guys believe but really when considering the job that Tom Tibido has done he has

Been the best coach for the Knicks since at the very least Mike Woodson and potentially the best coach the Knicks have had since Jeff Van Gundy I think since Van Gundy it’s pretty easy to say that Woodson and Tom Tibido and then after that maybe Mike Miller are the

Best coaches they’ve had and really when looking at the New York Knicks roster this is a type of team that runs on the way Tom Tibido plays basketball they are grinded out Blue Collar put on your hard hat and go to work basketball team they’re not that flashy they’re not

Going to hit a bunch of Threes they’re not playing that fastpac gun 5,000 threes per game offense and relying on that no this is a Nick’s team that relies on their defense when every team is scoring around 130 points per game you show up to MSG the Knicks come out

And they beat you with metal bats and it’s just they hold you under 100 points sometimes they hold you under 990 points the Nicks are a nasty team to deal with because their defense it’s so rugged you have guys who can defend up and down the roster completely there’s no real

Defensive liability on the court for the Knicks ever like even though Jaylen Brunson is not really a great defender he’s not a bad Defender and he draws some of the most charges does he lead the league in charges or is he second he’s in the top two I know that and if

You look at the way that Brunson plays he’s clearly not a bad Defender I mean the charges alone show the effort that he gives on defense but he also does everything he can’t to stay in front of his Defender he’s very strong he’s not a bad Defender by any means he’s just not

A great defender when there’s guys on the Knicks like Oobi like Mitchell Robinson who’s coming back soon like Dante defen chenzo like Josh Hart Who are all above average on ball Defenders or low post Defenders depending on their position precious aoua is a very good Defender Isaiah Haren Stein’s Rim

Protection has been excellent this season the New York Knicks Julius Randle is a good Defender also when he plays defense the Knicks have a great defensive unit and they work insanely hard and this is a perfect team for Tom Tibido to coach and with the article that we’re looking at from the athletic

Dante D venzo talks about how the Tibido practices aren’t as hard as advertised and what he said is I played for the Warriors with Steve Kerr and then for Coach bud with the Bucks it’s not like you come here and all of a sudden you’re running track every day I think what he

Does by far better than anyone I’ve been around is he’s the most prepared so ites doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go for 2 hours on your feet running but when you’re in there you’re going to lock in and you’re going to get the stuff done and we’re gonna get out of

There and this kind of aligns with what Josh Hart was saying on the roommates podcast a few weeks back he basically was like oh yeah we don’t practice that hard like he’s like I’ve never had days off like I’ve had with tibs he doesn’t make us practice that often he just

Comes in prepares us and then we leave and I mean so we’re basically getting the same statement and that’s just a good sign that there is some clarity on what’s going on with tibs he doesn’t seem like he’s overworking the guys in practice and we’ve seen guys not exactly

Mesh with Tom Tibido style for instance Carl Anthony towns and Andrew Wiggins neither of whom were viewed as winning players until very recently and neither of whom have exactly been the leaders on their teams ever despite both being first overall draft picks the reason why Jimmy Butler left the Timberwolves is

Because of that Infamous practice that Jeff Teague had given the real details on where essentially Butler did take the third stringers guarded cat the whole time completely busted him up I think the final score in that game was like 21 to3 and then Jimmy Butler walked out of

The practice yelling y’all need me here and then obviously still requested a trade because he was not messing around with that lineup him and tibs just were on a different plane they were caught From a Different Cloth than the rest of them and then they brought in a cushy

Coach and Ryan Saunders who absolutely botched everything so it shows that maybe despite the fact that tibs was voted as the least wanting to play for guy in the NBA in an anonymous poll last year that could just be incorrect it could be stigma reputations in basketball are a very real thing Sports

G when you get a reputation as a pro athlete or a coach that’s sticks with you and it doesn’t go anywhere and sometimes you’re just a bad coach I mean for any Jets fans out there when the Jets hired Adam gase we were all like oh yeah he sucks terrible coach awful

Signing and that was absolutely true but when you look at teams they or players sometimes they’re going to get caught up in these stigmas and it’s going to affect them and clearly tibs is not a bad coach and when discussing his contract something we’ve seen that as

The case with any coach whose contract situation is in question the acum of the postseason will definitely matter his current deal does end in 2025 as we mentioned and we’ve talked about this already they want to get something done this summer so he’s probably just going

To sign an extension this summer as long as the Knicks don’t absolutely fall apart in the final 10 games of the season and the athletic highlights that tibs could get a massive extension especially when it comes to pay Monty Williams is getting 78.5 million over the next six years to not coach the

Detroit Pistons I know he’s still their head coach but he doesn’t actually do anything Greg papovich obviously the greatest coach of all time is getting over 80 million over his five years with the Spurs that he signed last July shout out pops Eric spoler who’s currently

Viewed as the best coach in the NBA today is getting over a 100 million on the 8-year extension that he signed with Miami and January Doc Rivers his contract runs through 2027 and it’s around $40 million which is insane because he was hired in the middle of

The year and Steve ker signed a two-year $35 million extension with Golden State in February which obviously is massive for two years that could be the final of Steve Ker’s coaching or just whenever Steph Curry retires because they’re going out together as anyone who’s ever paid attention to the Warriors would

Probably figure but look clearly What’s Happening Here is we’ve seen Tom Tibido become ingrad in New York and we’ve seen him become one of the great coaches for the New York Knicks there’s a reason why he is some of the most wins in Nick’s history he helped turn the Knicks around

Instantly since he got there he’s going three for four on playoffs and 2021-22 was the weirdest season the Knicks have had in a while things were backwards they didn’t really have a point guard it is tips’ fault for playing Alec Burks at point guard that’s completely on him and

I’m someone who was calling for tips to be fired that season because of that but at the end of the day he bounced back having Brunson there it clearly works I’m not in the practices with tibs I’m not on the Knicks so I don’t know and

Clearly I guess I was wrong and that’s fine I’m not going to be right 100% of the time you guys think I’m wrong a lot and now on to Mitchell Robinson who basically the day before he returned to practice for the first time he participated in all the drills as coach

Tib said and now the Wonder is when he might come back that he doesn’t know and what Mitch said is I asked the doctors they just throw me curveballs so obviously that’s a shocking comment to make on your tenure with the New York kns when talking about returning to the

Court definitely kind of concerning that Mitchell Robinson doesn’t know when he’s going to be back and has openly admitted to the doctors not giving him a straight answer and that honestly aligns with what we’ve heard about OG an anobi and Julius Randall in the past so this is

Clearly just the Knicks not wanting to tell anyone anything and that I guess includes their own players which I don’t really love I don’t think that’s a good idea I believe in transparency with your athletes but hey it’s whatever maybe they don’t want to rush him I don’t know

What’s going on with the Knicks again they’re a good Organization for the first time and um oh ever uh they’re the first time they’ve been a good organization since James Dolan’s been the owner and that’s because he’s not doing anything thank you the MSG spere

In Vegas but if you look here Mitch has focused more on his conditioning and less on weightlifting he’s in the pool and on the bike more and when we saw Mitch come back from his foot surgery he was big he was a big chunky boy and

Maybe we won’t see that this time from a hefty Mitch we’ll see more of just the athletic guy that we know and based on conversations with Nicks people there’s a strong probability that he comes off the bench whenever he does play next as tibs hinted and when a guy comes back

Off an extended injury or time when it’s been out I think it takes a little bit of time to get coming back it probably makes sense with shorter minutes and bringing him off the bench we’ll see how it unfolds so obviously tibs is on Bo bring Mitch Off the Bench something

Mitch has been openly happy to do partially because he’s good friends with Isaiah hartenstein I mean they’re buddies Isaiah hartstein hartenstein and his wife or fiance I don’t know if they’re married yet um it doesn’t matter but um they were at Mitchell Robinson and His girl’s baby shower like they

Were there there’s a photo of the four of them on Mitch’s girls Instagram like you could see it it’s awesome like they’re very good friends they call each other after every game they talk about things hartenstein can work on they are just this amazing friendship Duo so

They’re fine with backing each other up like they’re completely cool with it which is so rare and what Mitch said is heyy man whatever helps the team I’m down for whatever Mitch does not care who the starter is he just wants to win and that is something you love to see especially

From the longest tenur player on the team a guy in Mitchell Robinson who’s one of the few players on the Knicks who knows what the team was like pre Leon Rose pre Tom Tibido I mean yeah Julius was here for a year without tibs also but outside of those two there’s no one

Else who knows a pre- tibs Nicks there’s no one else who knows a pre Leon Rose Nicks other than those two and Mitch has spent more time than anyone Mitch was on that 17-65 team he was the best player on that team like and he was a rookie a

Second round rookie he was the best player on that team don’t get it twisted it was Mitch with the way he played in the second half of the Season like he played excellent basketball for the Knicks and it paid off and now he’s still here and he’s fine with doing

Whatever he wants the man just wants to win you got to commend that and he also just mentioned that he felt like he was finally getting into shape and was at the top of his career before he went down with the injury he said and the

Next thing you know I went down and I just wanted to throw I mean Mitchell Robinson clearly has all the heart in the world he wants to stop this injury-prone issues and it’s going to be interesting to see what the Knicks do in regards to Mitch and hartenstein and

Aoua and hartenstein and aoua and OG all needing contract extensions and OG obviously going to get his and they better give Isaiah hartstein his it means that we might not see Precious tuua on the y Nicks for that much longer but again he’s mainly going to be a backup power forward when everyone’s

Healthy if you have to lose precious to keep this platoon of Mitch and hartenstein you absolutely do it and guys comment down below what you think on the Mitch situation comment down below what you think of tibs I’m going to post a poll that just kind of talks

About the whole tib situation do you guys want to see tibs coach the Knicks or do you want to see a different coach come in once his contract ends I’ll put the poll up on Nick digest when this video comes up so have a great day guys
