All three coaches are under contract and their organizations declined to make them available for interviews with the Knicks , two people with knowledge of the details said Wednesday, June 11. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the interview process was to remain private.
The Knicks fired Thibodeau on June 3, despite reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years. They reached the playoffs four times in Thibodeau's five seasons and had won at least 50 games in each of the final two. Knicks president Leon Rose interviewed Kidd and Udoka in 2020 before hiring Thibodeau. Both also played for the Knicks, with Kidd ending his Hall of Fame career on the team that reached the 2013 playoffs — which was the Knicks' last appearance before Thibodeau's arrival.
