I think it's an update from a story this Summer.

It's crazy though.


Because of who owns the Knicks not sure I believe anything they're saying.

Dolan makes Jimmy Haslam look smart.

Yeah, you are incredibly wrong.

All you can see is do they box out and make free throws?

When at high levels, boxing out isn’t even taught by most coaches anymore. It is “hit, find and fly”.

Boxing out is for guys and gals who play below the rim.

Thibs is a defensive innovator and lot of coaches base their man defense off of his rotation schemes and principles. He doesn’t play much zone because his teams ALWAYs play great man. They are well schooled and well disciplined in their principles.

Saying Thibs doesn’t teach defense is one of the more ignorant things you have ever posted here.

And that is saying something.
lol, teach boxing out??????

It is a f n natural reaction to box out . Now an f n lost art cause every freekin team thinks they are ELITE cause of the f n 3. And it’s one of the biggest reasons why fans are losing interest in NBA and watchin college ball.



Shame on you for havin this attitude. And wtf are you on? Other coaches what??? Base their man defenses on thibs what, name the coach and team , this should be good…

You don’t have a clue.

Thibs defense is as fundamentally solid as it gets.

Players consistently plug gaps, stunt and recover with text book close outs.

They don’t double because their system works. They force a lot of contested shots. And if a star goes of and the others get held down, Thibs is good with it.
