Knicks would like to hire Jason Kidd as head coach

The New York Knicks have been linked to a number of prominent head coach candidates since they fired Tom Thibodeau last week, but there is reportedly one name at the top of their list. The Knicks want Jason Kidd to become their next head coach, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. The reporter said on “Get Up” Tuesday morning that he believes the Knicks would hire Kidd without even conducting an interview if the Dallas Mavericks were to allow Kidd out of his contract. “The Knicks absolutely would like to hire Jason Kidd to be their next head coach. The question is will the Dallas Mavericks allow that, and that’s really where this is. It will be in the Mavericks’ court here,” Windhorst said. “The asking of permission is a formality. If the Mavericks would agree to send Jason Kidd to the Knicks, I believe he would be with the Knicks. There’s not gonna be an interview.”
