With Derek Fisher out as head coach of the New York Knicks, Tom Thibodeau's name has surfaced as a possibility.

"The Knicks are the job he's always wanted. He would crawl to Madison Square Garden," said a source.

Thibodeau was fired as head coach of the Chicago Bulls at the end of last season.

So far, the Knicks have been more strongly linked to Phil Jackson protegees Brian Shaw and Luke Walton.
