As the New York Knicks are being linked to Tom Thibodeau, former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is garnering support.
The New York Knicks are inching closer to one of the most important decisions that a franchise can make. After spending most of the 2019-20 NBA regular season with an interim head coach, a full-time individual will soon be hired, and former Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson reportedly has strong support inside the organization to take on the lead role.
Numerous reports have indicated that Tom Thibodeau is the heavy favorite, but that decision may not have been made by those who actually operate within the walls of Madison Square Garden.
