Knicks rookie Pacom Dadier participated in the show and talked about his coach Thibodeau in his rookie season and praised the latter.

Dadier said: "I met a coach who is very good for young players, especially in terms of discipline, who has laid a good foundation for me...I think this will help me in the future."

Dadier was selected by the Knicks at the 25th pick in the first round at the draft last year. After being selected, he had expressed his desire to play for Thibodeau. At that time, Dadier said: "It feels great to see Thibodeau. I always watch him on TV, so this time I feel a little different, but I enjoy it."

In his rookie season, Dadier played 18 games in the regular season, averaging 6.2 minutes per game, scoring 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds. He played 2 games in the playoffs, averaged 2.0 minutes per game, and scored 1.0 points. Thibodeau led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals this season, but the Knicks chose to fire Thibodeau after being eliminated by the Pacers.
