Breaking down pros and cons of the Knicks’ coaching candidates

Here are some of the pros and cons of candidates to be the Knicks’ new head coach:

Mark Jackson

Pro: Many Knicks fans would adore the move, a storybook return of a local hero to save a dead franchise.

Con: Steve Mills and Scott Perry harped on wanting a coach to work as a team alongside the front office. Jackson has a headstrong personalty and rubbed front-office types the wrong way.

Doc Rivers

Pro: One of the elite head coaches in the NBA who loves New York and is a former Knick.
