Knicks to interview Kenny Smith for coaching job
Kenny SmithAdd another former Queens point guard turned broadcaster into the Knicks’ coaching mix — though this one doesn’t appear to have much of a shot.
TNT’s Kenny Smith, who interviewed for the Knicks’ general manager vacancy in 2008, reportedly will get an audience Friday with team president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry, according to ESPN. It appears to be a courtesy interview — unless Smith, who has no coaching experience, is interested in an assistant’s position on the new coach’s staff.
Mark Jackson, another Queens product, and former Knicks point guard, and former Knicks coach Mike Woodson each interviewed for the head-coaching post Wednesday in Los Angeles.
