Alarming pattern emerging in Knicks search for top assistant

Stop me if you have heard this before, but the Knicks just got spurned by another potential candidate for their lead assistant coaching position under Mike Brown. According to SNY's Ian Begley, Indiana Pacers assistant Mike Weinar has informed the Knicks that he is withdrawing himself from consideration for the position. Weinar is the latest name the Knicks have lost out on, in what is developing into a concerning trend.

According to the New York Post's Stefan Bondy, Weinar ultimately chose to remain in Indiana for multiple reasons, including family considerations and a desire to continue to work under head coach Rick Carlisle, who has coached under for a number of years.
