Tom Thibodeau, Kenny Atkinson, Mike Miller To Interview For Knicks' Job

[RealGM Wiretap]

The New York Knicks are expected to interview Tom Thibodeau, Kenny Atkinson and Mike Miller for their head coaching vacancy. 

Thibodeau is widely considered to be the top candidate for the job.

Atkinson was fired as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets in March.

The Knicks have been impressed by the job Miller has done as interim head coach and is expected to be offered a position to stay with the franchise even if he's not offered the head coaching job.

New York fired David Fizdale as head coach early in the 19-20 season.

I'm happy with any of them, but the Nets deserve Thibodeau so they can complete the collapse. Atkinson is good at developing talent, Knicks need that right now.

Thibs won a championship in Boston as the architect of their defense and had the best record in the NBA two years in the row in Chicago, with Joakim Noah as his second best player.

That's true, but it's well known he overplays his stars and they often get hurt. Coaching KD and Kyrie, I can see them both re-injured before playoffs. I wanted Thibs on the Knicks like 4 years ago, but instead they keep the carousel of unproven newbies turning and giving them virtually no talent to work with. I wouldn't be against Thibs, maybe he can instill some defense.
