The New York Knicks are actively pursuing their next head coach, with meetings scheduled for next week with former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown and former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. This strategic move comes after the Knicks recently parted ways with Tom Thibodeau, who led the team to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.

As the Knicks look to rebuild, they face challenges in their coaching search. Earlier this week, several teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, denied the Knicks permission to interview their coaches, such as Jason Kidd.

This coaching search raises important questions about the Knicks’ direction. Will they find a leader who can elevate the team further? The recent rejections highlight the competitive landscape for coaching talent in the NBA. Key developments include:
- Knicks’ meetings with Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins next week.
- Rejections from teams like the Mavericks and Hawks regarding coaching interviews.
- Thibodeau’s firing after a successful season raises eyebrows.
As the Knicks move forward, fans will be eagerly watching for updates on potential hires, hoping for a coach who can take them to new heights next season.
