This whole thing is hysterical. Not sure how interested the Knicks were in Hurley or Pitino - if I read the tea leaves correctly, they had some interest in Hurley, but he squelched that pretty quick, and while there may have been no interest in Pitino, his comments were spot on and highlighted the problem with that job - that the ONLY successful season for their next HC is an NBA championship.

[I]New York has attempted to interview a number of employed coaches, including Dallas' Jason Kidd, Minnesota's Chris Finch, Houston's Ime Udoka, Chicago's Billy Donovan and Atlanta's Quin Snyder.

Each of those franchises has denied the Knicks' interview requests.

Former Villanova coach Jay Wright also informed the team that he is not interested in leaving retirement to consider the position[/I].

What a total $#!t show for the Knicks. Blueprint for how NOT to make a coaching change. As funny as it is that 5 teams now have said "no you can't talk to our current HC", how can a team do that? I mean if Kidd REALLY wanted the job, could Dallas legally stop him?
