Knicks Interested In Jason Kidd, Ime Udoka; Johnnie Bryant, Jay Wright ‘Presumed’ To Be Candidates For Head Coach

The New York Knicks do not appear to have a succession plan to replace Tom Thibodeau as head coach, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Jay Wright and Cavs’ assistant Johnnie Bryant are “presumed” to be likely candidates for the role.

Bryant is currently a finalist for the Suns’ head coach job.

The Knicks also have interest in Ime Udoka and Jason Kidd. The Rockets would reject any interview requests from the Knicks.

It’s been reported that the decision to fire Thibodeau was lead by Leon Rose and approved by James Dolan, though many in the league are skeptical due to the closeness between Thibodeau and Rose.
