I've posted previously that that is what I would have done.
Thibodeau was there a long time, 6 yrs, had all the resources, and the ceiling is not Larry O'Brien, it's not even making the Finals to get CRUSHED by OKC.
If I was Dolan or Rose, I would have no reasonable belief for the team to win the title. After this regular- and post-season, I see NO even hopeful case for them to win it all. There was no progress from last season to this, 50 dubs in one 51 in the other, 13 back, 14 back.
Thibodeau had a golden opportunity after knocking off Beans and having the Cavalry summarily dismounted for him. And then he got outcoached by Rick Carlisle in the Eastern Conference Finals. "What are we doing guys?". I can see that question being asked in the boardroom. "It has been FIFTY-TWO YEARS since we won a title!" I bet that was said.
