Knicks Interview Micah Nori for Head Coach Job

The New York Knicks have formally interviewed Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori for their vacant head coaching job, making him the third candidate alongside Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins. The search follows the unexpected firing of Tom Thibodeau, who had led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. Nori, recognized for his defensive expertise and interim coaching experience, has previously been considered for other head coaching roles. The Knicks have encountered obstacles in their search, as requests to interview sitting head coaches Chris Finch, Jason Kidd, and Ime Udoka were denied. Fans and analysts have criticized the decision to fire Thibodeau and the ongoing coaching search. The Knicks currently remain the only NBA team without a head coach.
