Looking ahead to the next season of the NBA, the New York Knicks are seeking a new head coach. The Big Apple franchise has parted ways with Tom Thibodeau and aims for their next 'head coach' to be of the highest caliber.

Therefore, some of the candidates that have been rumored to interest the Knicks include Jason Kidd, Chris Finch, and Jay Wright, the legendary former Villanova coach in the NCAA.

However, the latter has reportedly distanced himself from the race, as per NBA Rumors reported by Seth Davis from HoopsHQ. It seems that NY Knicks have already reached out to Wright, who has expressed his intention to remain retired from coaching.

Consequently, the Knicks will have to explore more candidates for the head coaching position. Kidd and Finch also appear to be challenging targets, as they are settled in their roles as head coaches of the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves, respectively.
