There are some notable names the Knicks could hire, like Spurs assistant Becky Hammon. Hammon would become the first women’s head coach in NBA history and has served under Greg Popovich for the past 5+ years. Will the Knicks be the franchise to give Hammon an opportunity?
Former Knick great, Patrick Ewing is the head coach at his alma mater Georgetown. Could Ewing be ready for a return to Madison Square Garden as the Knicks next head coach? Jerry Stackhouse is another candidate for the Knicks as he is highly thought of in NBA circles and is currently the head coach Vanderbilt.
The top two Knicks’ head coaching candidates are former NBA head coaches. David Blatt, who coached the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2015 is a top candidate for the Knicks. Former Warriors Mark Jackson is the other. Jackson took the Warriors to the playoffs twice and has received a lot of credit publicly for the dynasty that took off once Steve Kerr got there. Jackson would be a home run hire for the Knicks.
