Time to hit up Rick Pitino

He's not interested

Pitino 'absolutely not' interested in Knicks job

St. John's coach Rick Pitino, who previously led the Knicks from 1987-89, says he's "absolutely not" interested in coaching the team again in the wake of Tom Thibodeau's firing.

He's too old anyway.

Coaches usually don't get hired within a week. This is nothing to be concerned about. It would be irresponsible for a multi million dollar company to not exhaust all options before making a hire.

Exhausting options would be to interview people who aren't currently in a head coaching position, which they seemingly haven't started doing yet.

How the Knicks the Mecca of Basketball but still getting treated like Jury Duty?

Before I start talking to coaches that just recently got fired or have no head coaching experience why not try and see if a team is willing to let go of their coach for the right price? Coaches have been traded before

Yeah, but that's rare and unlikely.

Also, if the teams were dissatisfied with their coach, they would've fired them already.

Yeah, maybe the Knicks should have waited to fire dude after the Finals and then do this so it looks disjointed but I agree with you. This is just due diligence. I don't know what guys are advocating for. Tampering with teams other coaches? If they back channeled the coaching search prior to firing Thibs and got caught that would be an epic fail/irresponsible .This is just exhausting every option.

Just go get Mike Malone and call it a day what's the issue here

Yupp. Mike Malone is from Astoria Queens with a championship pedigree, why not give it a try

I wouldn't mind mark Jackson or Patrick Ewing .

Realistically, you're setting yourself for failure. The roster isn't a championship roster but anything less than a Finals appearance next year and you'll be seen as not performing to expectations.

They might just have to go the hot assistant route and hope they choose correctly.

patrick ewing would love a headcoaching job

Worst franchise in sports

I thought Jeff Teague was just naming names when I saw him on The Rich Eisen Show talking about this, but this is the actual list

Knicks really think everybody wants to go there
