Tom Thibodeau talks Bill Belichick after snagging 500th career win
NY Post
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tom Thibodeau will never get as many championships as his friend and idol Bill Belichick, but he can brag about having more wins.
Thibodeau captured his 500th career victory with Saturday night’s 106-94 win, becoming the 36th NBA coach to reach the milestone.
Predictably, Thibodeau dismissed the achievement.
Just like Belichick would.
“Those type of things are just the mark of you’ve been around a long time and you’ve had really good players,” the Knicks coach said. “So I certainly appreciate it, but I don’t get wrapped up in stuff like that.”
Thibodeau was more expansive on Belichick’s departure from the Patriots, which followed a record six Super Bowl titles.
