Knicks have third head coach candidate as Micah Nori interviews for job
NY Post
A third interview candidate has emerged for the Knicks’ coaching opening.
Minnesota assistant coach Micah Nori became the third person to discuss the vacancy with the Knicks earlier this week, joining former head coaches Taylor Jenkins and Mike Brown, a league source confirmed to The Post.
ESPN first reported the Knicks’ interest in the 51-year-old Nori, who had been with the Timberwolves since 2021.
He previously served as an assistant with the Raptors, Kings, Nuggets and Pistons.
The Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau on June 3, days after they were eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.
They since have been rebuffed by opposing NBA teams in efforts to speak with several current head coaches, including Dallas’ Jason Kidd, Houston’s Ime Udoka, Minnesota’s Chris Finch, Atlanta’s Quin Snyder and Chicago’s Billy Donovan.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
