He was 56-98 as head coach of the Knicks and before that he coached the Indiana Pacers and had better success where he was 131-115.
Thomas is most notably known for his hall-of-fame career with the Detroit Pistons. He was a 2x NBA champion, NBA Finals MVP, 12x NBA All-Star, 5x All-NBA, NBA Rookie First Team, and an NBA Assist Leader.
