After making the surprising decision to fire Tom Thibodeau fresh off an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Knicks are searching for their next head coach. However, they are approaching the search in an unusual manner—by requesting to interview multiple head coaches from other teams that are, from what is known, not looking to leave their current team.
So far, the Knicks have requested permission to speak with Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka, and Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch, per ESPN's Shams Charania. All five teams have rejected the Knicks’ request.
