The New York Knicks are on the hunt for a new head coach and have interviewed three candidates, including Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori, former Kings coach Mike Brown, and recently ousted Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. Nori, who has vast experience as an assistant with various NBA teams, has caught the attention of the Knicks as they look to fill the void left by the departure of Tom Thibodeau. Despite their interest, the Timberwolves denied permission for the Knicks to interview their head coach, Chris Finch, adding an intriguing twist to the coaching search.
The Knicks' decision to part ways with Thibodeau, who led them to the Eastern Conference finals after a 25-year drought, surprised many in the basketball world. With several teams reportedly turning down the Knicks in their pursuit of a new head coach, the franchise faces a challenging task in finding the right fit to lead the team forward. As the coaching carousel continues to spin, Knicks fans eagerly await the announcement of their new bench boss and the direction the team will take in the upcoming season.
