He isn't.

They interviewed him twice because he has to worry about resuming the regular season with the Lakes, and they don't want to cause any distractions.

You are correct.

They’re trying to conclude interviews in that specific time frame to ensure that they don’t interrupt the re-start season at all.

That doesn’t mean Kidd or any other coach isn’t a serious candidate

I would hire any of those guys besides Woodson, Mike Brown and Tom Thibodeau.

I'll probably Jason Kidd to that list too.

The New York Knicks are considering Jason Kidd as a head coaching candidate and some insiders feel he's the lone threat to favorite Tom Thibodeau to get the job.

Kidd has a mixed track record as a head coach with a failed power play with the Brooklyn Nets and then the Milwaukee Bucks have gone on to have the best record in basketball each of the past two seasons following his dismissal in 17-18.

“He’s a Hall of Fame player and young innovative coach who learned from his past mistakes,’’ said one personnel man familiar with the Knicks’ interest. “I think the Knicks’ young players would relate to him. Whether a factor for Giannis, wherever [Kidd] goes to coach, that team most definitely will have a seat at that dinner table when the time comes.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a free agent in 2021 and played for Kidd earlier in his career. Antetokounmpo was said to be “devastated’’ when the Bucks fired Kidd.

Kidd is currently an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“LeBron (James) loves Kidd,’’ one team executive told The Post. “But Giannis swears by him.’’

I'm disorientated by the more than 1 quantity of next HC threads. That said, and in the absence of absolutely any new evidence, I'm getting more interested in the idea of Jason Kidd for the NYK HC. Pretty fascinating for the rest of you, I know. You are all welcome.

Denial is the first phase.
Or you may be in anger.

Later comes acceptance.

But before you find acceptance you must have lots of pain first. Or Ugu. Lots of Ugu.

Kidd is going be the coach and they will add two top assistants to update his offense and defense.

J Kidd with a quality top assistant (Udoka, Mosley) could be intriguing -- especially if he has the potential to lure Giannis.

Atkinson #1, Woody #2.

Woody had a brilliant tenure aside from one bad final season, where his work was sabotaged (although he obviously shares responsibility too) by the Bargnani trade and Stoudemire's return. The departure of all the vets didn't help either when that leaves you with Melo as your leader and no one to keep JR in check. He didn't do a good job that year, but it shouldn't overshadow how he helped transform that franchise the two years before that.

F Giannis.

No chance in hell he signs here anyway.

When are we gonna learn. Let's build from within.

Hiring a head coach to lure free agents sure sounds like a fool proof plan.

I wasn't interested in J Kidd at all before, but now I feel like it could be a good idea.

This might be the most universally disliked hire, therefore I'm for it

Build within with Woodson? Lolz.

Nothing wrong with building from within though.

Who coaches the Knicks?
