I must admit, I was quite skeptical when it was reported that the Knicks would interview former NBA Coach of the Year Mike Budenholzer. Why would the Hawks part with one of the league’s finest coaches, and why would Budenholzer, who has spent most of his career coaching perennial playoff contenders, choose the Knicks?
Well a recent article from Marc Berman might have cleared up both concerns rather nicely. According to his source, Bud’s yearning for New York is quite real.
Mike Budenholzer is genuinely interested in the Knicks’ job, according to an NBA source who has spoken to the Hawks coach.
