There was big news out of the NBA Wednesday, where Tom Thibodeau reportedly agreed to a five-year deal to become president and head coach of the Timberwolves. The move -- assuming it goes through -- will unite one of the most fun, dynamic young teams in the NBA with one of its most proven coaches.

Of course in New York, the news wasn't about where Thibodeau ended up, but instead, where he won't be coaching next year. That's because after rumors surfaced that Thibodeau would "crawl to Madison Square Garden" to coach the Knicks, team president Phil Jackson never seemed to seriously consider him. Instead, all signs point towards Kurt Rambis remaining the team's head coach.

As you can imagine Knicks fans definitely weren't happy with the announcement that Thibodeau is headed to Minnesota, and decided to take out their frustration with Phil Jackson on Twitter.

Here are the best tweets we can share on a wholesome, family website like FoxSports.com:
