The New York Knicks have been on an unplanned chase to fill their head coaching vacancy. They tried to poach somebody. The Big Apple requested teams such as the Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, and even the Dallas Mavericks to interview their head coach. None of them obliged. However, there are no rules to pursue their subordinates. And it seems the Knicks have identified somebody.
According to Shams Charania, the Knicks have decided to interview the Timberwolves’ assistant coach Micah Nori for the head coaching position. In his tweet, he mentioned, “The New York Knicks are interviewing Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori for the team’s head coaching job, sources tell ESPN,”.
This is the third coach they have gone after. However, Nori is the only candidate with no head coaching experience. So far, the Knicks have also held interviews with former Kings coach Mike Brown and former Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins to fill the position. As the process moves forward, it seems a decision will be made soon.
