The New York Knicks have made contact with virtually every name imaginable in the pursuit of a new head coach. From European legends and G League standouts to former Knicks players and television analysts, the front office is doing its due diligence.
That path towards stability has taken New York to Atlanta, where the Knicks have located another candidate for the job: Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer.
Budenholzer was granted permission by the Atlanta Hawks to meet with the Phoenix Suns about their vacancy at head coach. After talks fell through, however, Budenholzer returned to the open market despite holding a position already.
