I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. You don't ask for permission unless you are ready to hire the man. Why would a guy say yes to just an interview? How could he ever go back to his old team after showing a desire to leave? There's plenty of evidence they are on 6+ if one is honest about it. I bet Jay Wright was first choice.
Brian Windhorst just noted that many coaches have signed extensions recently. Jason Kidd has not. And that Kidd has lost his top assistant while his #2 asst may be leaving as well.
No, and if even if they did, the NBA season has been done for a week now.
But Dawn Staley is getting an interview? No disrespect to her I just can’t imagine that Dan and Rick weren’t even considered. If they weren’t approached it’s because they said “no” very early.
Somebody reading they hired Dawn Staley, lolz.
I don't know. They moved on from a coach whose exact flaws are what is specifically holding the team back. It sucks, but I don't disagree with them, frankly.
False. You don't make a list of possible replacements, rank them based on your interest and then interview them in order. That may be a wildly idealistic way to imagine how it works, but you also don't just hire coaches because you've seen them. I would certainly hope the Knicks would use an actual interview process with specific traits they're looking for and go find out if available coaches match those traits.
I’m talking about poaching people who are already under contract. You don’t have an “ interview process” with someone under contract.
Not talking about the job. About who is the center of attention. And to a large degree who gets to call the shots. I imagine more people.can name the stars on OKC than can name the coach. More people can name the UConn coach than the best player.
