he took over a 29 win team and in the 2nd season took them to 47 wins and the only playoff appearance in 16 seasons. That kind of looks like some improvement to me.
One season out of three, after which they plunged straight back down again. It looks to me like an outlier in a year that they made a future-for-present trade to get Jimmy Butler.
I think Thibodeau is a perfectly fine coach, but I think he has a ton of flaws (I mean, he immediately alienated Butler, the player who was pretty instrumental in his one good season) and I think he's being overly hyped for this season in New York.
