New York parted ways with coach Tom Thibodeau at the end of the season and the bidding process for who could succeed him has been going on for about ten days.
All the coaches the Knicks wanted have clubs, so Minnesota did not give them permission to negotiate for Chris Finch, Houston for Ime Udoka, nor Dallas or Atlanta for Jason Kidd and Quin Snyder.
The two new names on the list of potential coaches for the Big Apple franchise are out-of-work experts - Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins.
Brown was fired by Sacramento at the end of 2024, while Jenkins was recently fired by Memphis. Both agreed to an interview in New York and are expected to speak with Knicks officials next week.
Thibodeau led New York for five years, leaving the team after it was eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals by Indiana. American media reports that the management was not satisfied with the way the team, which has Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OJ Onunobi, Mikal Bridges..., was playing.
New York finished the regular season last season as the third-place team in the East with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses.
