Another name has joined the list of Knicks coaching candidates.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Knicks have obtained permission to speak with Spurs assistant coach Will Hardy about their vacant head coaching job. The 32-year-old has served as an assistant coach under Gregg Popovich, moving into that role for the last four seasons after working his way up from a basketball operations internship to assistant video coordinator and then video coordinator.
Hardy also served as the coach for the Spurs’ summer league team from 2015 to 2018 and was on the Team USA staff last summer for the FIBA World Cup.
