“Josh Hart [was] very close to Tom Thibodeau, these guys they loved Tom Thibodeau but none of them stepped up and said ‘Hey, Tom Thibodeau has to be the coach here’ or ‘I’m leaving.’ If that happened, maybe Tom Thibodeau is still here,” Begley said.
That’s from the second article linked to above. On the one hand, it’s not surprising to learn this, because if Brunson protested, I don’t know if Leon fires Thibs. But it’s still a little surprising, just given the closeness of Jalen and Thibs.
Don’t forget the Thibs-Mikal tiff. Plus likely other grumblings. Jalen would know the locker room better than anyone. Not protesting seems like an example of putting the team before his personal feelings.
