The New York Knicks have fired head coach Tom Thibodeau following a successful tenure, which included the team’s first Eastern Conference finals appearance since 2000. With the coaching position now open, top candidates include Michael Malone, known for his success with the Nuggets; Jay Wright, a former Villanova coach with ties to players like Jalen Brunson; Mike Brown, who led the Kings to a playoff berth; and Johnnie Bryant, a former Knicks assistant. Other notable mid-tier options are Taylor Jenkins, Mike Budenholzer, Frank Vogel, and Sam Cassell, all of whom bring valuable experience to the table.
