Dick Vitale thinks the New York Knicks would be better off running things back, no matter how awkward that might be.

ESPN’s Dick Vitale Urges Knicks to Hire Tom Thibodeau Again After 'Embarrassing' Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks terminated former head coach Tom Thibodeau’s contract on June 3 following the team being eliminated from the Eastern Conference finals by the Indiana Pacers 4-2.

The Knicks have been the recipient of much criticism from figures in sports media since firing Tom Thibodeau on June 3, with ex-NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo declaring that the team is “their own worst enemy” during a podcast appearance Tuesday.
