Knicks coaching search update: Fizdale trending up, Mark Jackson won’t go away

The Knicks could be really close to selecting a coach.

Shams Chanaria, breaker of NBA news, had a (maybe sort of surprising?) note about the Knicks’ coaching search today:

David Fizdale has gained serious traction in New York Knicks' search for next head coach, league sources told Yahoo.

There’s, well, not a ton to go off of in Shams’ story. But generally, if a guy like Shams reports something or someone has “gained traction,” it means that it’s about 90 percent a done deal:

David Fizdale has gained serious traction as a frontrunner in the New York Knicks’ search to become the franchise’s next head coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
