When the Knicks made the decision to fire Tom Thibito, most Nick fans did not like the move.

They didn't understand the move.

They leaned on the whole, hey, Eastern Conference Finals, first time in 25 years thing.

But information has emerged over the last week.

Ian Begley, who joined us yesterday, if you missed it, you can download the Evan and Tiki podcast,

reveal this information, and you can tell where it's coming from.

It's coming from the players. This is not, doesn't sound like it's being leaked out by Madison

Square Garden as a hit job on Tom Thibito. This sounds like here's the player's perspective and

maybe some of the things they said in these exit interviews. And you tell me, I know it's a different

sport, but as a player, how damaging this is. According to Ian Begley and Nick players, the Knicks didn't have full scrimmages during an entire training camp one season, which is uncommon.

The players found it odd that they didn't scrimmage during the camp.

Thibbado's Knicks didn't scrimmage often in the season, which is more common in the NBA.

But the lack of scrimaging hindered the players' ability to develop cohesion, they said.

Players were also surprised they didn't work on specific endgame situations during the season,

which is something that most teams do.

They found it strange that the coaching staff didn't go over those situations during practice.

Those are some of the critiques that players had on Tom Fibito.

And that goes along with a report we heard earlier a couple days ago that there was one

named Nick who said he didn't think he'd be able to play for Tom Fibito again.

Is that enough in your mind to say, whoa, I don't know if I can bring this guy back?

Well, it's informative of some of the things that we saw throughout the regular season and certainly in the postseason.

The end of game planning or attention to detail.
