I asked DeepSeek, why did the iron coach Thibodeau get out of class, and DeepSeek s answer was amazing!

Thibodeau built a 19-win "bad team" into an Eastern Conference powerhouse in five years in the Knicks, setting the best record in 25 years in team history and returning to the Eastern Conference Finals, but was still fired. This seemingly contradictory decision is actually the result of the interweaving of multiple factors such as record pressure, tactical contradictions, and management ambitions, which deeply reflects the cruel logic under the NBA championship culture. The following is the core reason for its dismissal:

Thibodeau's departure is a classic case of the supremacy of utilitarianism in the NBA: the winner's logic is higher than the growth narrative, and the champion's ambition is overturned by loyal considerations. The legacy he left to New York (50-win team) and curse (i.e. the pressure to win the championship) will become the "life and death situation" of the new coach. As Thibodeau said before leaving office: "Winning can heal the pain, and losing can only amplify the problem." In New York, the applause of meritorious deeds will always sound only for the winners on the throne - and under the Iron Throne of the NBA, there is no place to be safe.
