Getting to know the many candidates for next head coach of the Knicks

Leon Rose and his front office cronies intend to leave no stone unturned in their search for the perfect person to roam the sidelines next season for the Knicks, with reports saying the franchise plans to interview as many as 10 potential head coaches, including multiple Gregg Popovich disciples.

This is promising news, because the last few times the Knicks had a vacancy at head coach, they didn’t exactly run completely thorough search processes. Take, for example, the time Phil Jackson hired Derek Fisher as a rebound after being spurned by Steve Kerr, or when David Fizdale was brought on board because he convinced Steve Mills and Scott Perry that he could sell them used cars for an unbeatable price.
