New York's overtures to engage in talks with Houston Rockets head coach, Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd (a former Knick), Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, and Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan have all been rejected.

The New York Knicks made an impressive run to the Eastern Conference Finals run during the 2024-25 NBA season. Unfortunately, they ran into a red-hot Indiana Pacers team, which were able to eliminate them in six games.

According to a report, the Knicks will have to shift their attention to other candidates after three NBA teams denied New York access to their coaches.
