Official Knicks Coaching Search Thread pt. 2 (update: poll added 6/18/25)

Regarding Jenkins, he had a team with a lot of young, developing pieces. We don't really know how he'd manage a more developed group, nor how he'd interact with this management group. That's what you interview for.

Jenkins is a bit of a wild card. But I’m willing to take him on over Mike brown. You already know what you’re getting with Brown.

Same same.

Speaking of wild cards, I'm dead serious about Sam Cassell. He's been on winners his whole playing and coaching career, been a part of 4 championships, players love and respect him, he played a bit like Brunson...

At least give the man an interview.

One of the most eye-catching votes received was for Sam Cassell, who now serves as Boston’s lead assistant coach. Cassell was voted first for best assistant in the NBA.

Cassell, turning 55 in November, has voiced a desire to soon become a head coach. Multiple teams have shown interest in him being their head coach in recent years. That includes the Lakers meeting with him this summer. Granted, JJ Redick was always the front-runner for that job.

Josh just loves Thibs because he's the only NBA coach in the league that would allow him to be a starter for the entire year and playoffs. 5 turnovers in a quarter...No big deal Josh Stay in the game!

This!!

I saw that Josh tweet and got pissed like stfu. Then they still do a pod I didn’t watch I’m tired of the talking.

Josh hasn't had a coaxh longer than a year in his NBA career. It's stability. Josh has always played for whatever coach he had because he plays hard. He even played more than Jalen at FIBA under Kerr.

lol Jenkins, you guys are funny.

They should give Vogel a look. He was unfairly fired from his last two jobs because he was dealing with lazy players who don’t like to play defense.

Hmmm ....

To be honest, their podcast is boring asf. Jalen's a baller but has the personality of a rock. It's just not good.

Josh has the personality but Jalen just delivers borong put downs all the rime.

Knicks roster isn’t that great and they can’t make any trades so who really gives a **** who the next coach is. Bring back Rambis. It doesn’t really matter

This guy is available. And he still may be on the payroll.

In other words, Kidd still hasn't gotten the number he wants on his new Dallas contract yet.

[mpharris36]

the coaching requests put the ball in the coaches corner. If they want to leave its now up to them to put pressure on there current situation,

Donovan is a interesting case. CHI really doesn't have a team that is going to compete....Billy is from Long Island, grew up a Knicks fan (Huge Clyde fan), played for the Knicks. One of his best friends is Mo Cheeks who works on our staff.

we are not doing anything. We are going about our coaching search and for the coaches currently employed we sent out feelers now if they are truly interested in leaving they put pressure on there current organization to leave.

He made our worst players play just like our worst players. Loved it so much.

1. Brown was a disaster with the LAL

2. Malone is a poor man Thibs with no defense and was always heavily outcoached vs Tom

Names that make sense either as HC or assistants

Bryant
Woodson
Jenkins
Wright
Borrego
Billups
Carlisle
Kidd
Vogel
Cassell
Lue
JVG
Messina
Monty Will
Howard
Spo
UConn HC
Ham
Vince
Grant Hill

Its real weird I have a negative reaction to reading Billy Donovan and have no clue if he is good or not.

only phil jackson can contain the likes of michael jordan and kobe. Maybe Pops could too. Anybody else? nah

[KnicksIn5]

If Mike Brown is being seriously considered, wtf are we doing? Might as well stuck with Thibs.

I wouldn't mind Jenkins at all.
