The Knicks, according to a league source, have reached an agreement with Utah Jazz assistant coach Johnnie Bryant to join Tom Thibodeau's staff as associate head coach.
Bryant joins Kenny Payne, who left the University of Kentucky and was officially announced last week as an assistant coach. Bryant, according to the source, will continue to coach with the Jazz through the playoffs before joining the Knicks.
The arrival of the 34-year-old Bryant has not changed the plan to hire former Knicks head coach Mike Woodson, who is expected to complete a deal to join Thibodeau.
