The next Knicks head coach

[NoStatsGuy]

i read everyone on their a-list refuse to let nyk interview their coaches


is it possible parity has emboldened the small market teams to give the big cities the middle finger
is it possible the coaches don't want to strain relations with other teams so they told their FO to say no to the knicks

first of all, what is said in the media doesnt neccessarily need to be true. Rose has always operated in silence. We dont know who their A-Listers are.

secondly, Leon is just doing his due dilligence and turns every stone. I dont think he expected to get permission to talk to those coaches. that would be a little naive.

And lastly before we hired thibs, Leon and the Knicks went through an almost 3 months interview process with all kinds of different candidates. And i expect this coaching search to go simillarly

Time to rehire Thibs at this point.

And owe him an apology .

so,,,in other words nyk had no plan after firing thibs

alex hahn on espn said "knicks are going to get THE coach they want because who fires a guy like thibs unless they know they have someone in their back pocket"

We're a couples days away from a tweet like:

Shanghai Sharks decline Knicks interview with Lu Wei.

In a week they'll start asking RealGM.com to interview the top GB minds.

actually this reminds me of my bruins for the past 40yrs going through their preferred a-listers until they get to the #6 choice.
they coulda had pitino but they were too stuck up and aloof to consider him

[JujitsuFlip]

Pretty arrogant of the knicks to assume that teams would allow them to poach their head coach.

Also who would want to coach a team that just fired the coach that got them to the eastern conference finals. First time in like 30 years.

They must have had a very good reason to want to ask and it's probably because Kidd is unhappy with Dallas considering what they did with the Luka deal.

But how do you explain the Quinn Snyder, Billy Donovan, Chris Finch, and Ime Udoka requests? They can't all be unhappy.

Leon Rose: So James sir, you told me to fire Thibs, now what?
Dolan: Hire Kidd !
Rose: he has a contract with Dallas
Dolan: So? get him, ask Dallas to talk to Jason, I like him.
Rose: Dallas says no, F off!
Dolan: What? then hire that TWolves coach.
Rose: Minnie said we can't talk to him.
Dolan: Dammit, I want Spoelstra and Kerr, Get it done Leon or you're fired.

Mike Brown? Really?

God, I hope they try to pry away Billups from Portland.

[BigGargamel]

Mike Brown. The Knicks are a mess LOL.

[Celts17Pride]

Just make Spike Lee the head coach and everyone is happy.

[MrGoat]

Mike Brown? Really?

Mike Brown is actually a pretty decent coach and did not deserve to be fired last time. So I don't expect the Knicks to hire him

[Lalouie]

I've heard minnie, atl, dal, wright, and three others so far.

mavs - denied
hou - blocked
minnie - NO
atl - FIRMLY DENIED
bulls - refused
wright - declined. loves retirement
hurley - declined

and of course there's the very public media blast from carlissimo and barkley that hasn't helped any. IF brown turns nyk down they've sunk to a new low. he's forever been the de rigueuer go-to coach when all else fails

i have to say,,,,,,,this list is even longer that my bruin's list lo these past 40yrs

They are probably talking to guys like brown about being a veteran assistant to a Johnny Bryant kind of coach or a first timer which would be exactly what they should be doing.

Monty Williams would all be choices I'd be generally ok with. Actually pretty crazy how many quality coaches currently are available. You have 3 coaches that made it at least to the finals within the last 5 years. Monty would also be fun from the perspective that he was a rookie for the Knicks when I really got into Basketball and was still collecting cards.

Why do you hate your team?

Yeah, this really has Dolan written all over him. Was generally open for at least some candidates, but really don't see the point of getting rid of Thibs to replace him with Mike Brown. Solid coach, but definitely not the right choice for our current situation. At this point I'm just waiting for Byron Scott to be brought up, or how about we give Don Nelson a 2nd chance .

Basically all this but the media needs clicks from Knicks like always
