Knicks Head Coach Rumors: David Fizdale Reportedly Gaining Traction
The Knicks have reportedly finished interviewing candidates for their head coach and hope to hire their choice this week.
New York fired Jeff Hornacek on Thursday morning. He coached the Knicks to a 60–104 record in two seasons. He had one year remaining on his contract. Associate head coach Kurt Rambis was also let go.
Since his departure, the Knicks job has been one of the most talked about because of the number of candidates linked to the opening. Some of the names include former hawks coach Mike Budenholzer and former Knicks head coach and current Clippers assistant Mike Woodson.
Last season, the Knicks went 29-53 and finished 11th in the East.
