NEW YORK -- New York Knicks president Leon Rose said on Wednesday that he intends to have the next permanent coach of the franchise in place by the end of July.
Speaking in his first interview since being hired in March, Rose told MSG Network's Mike Breen that he intends to have "two phases" of interviews: conduct short meetings with candidates to "break the ice" before having "full interviews" with possible coaches.
"We're looking at a lot of different people with a lot of different mindsets, philosophies," Rose told Breen. "And for me personally, this is educational, and I need to make sure that we go through this process and we dot ever I and gross every T in order to make the right decision.
