The New York Knicks have interviewed 10 candidates for the vacancy at head coach. The number could be higher, but even if the figure that’s known to the general public is lower than the actual amount, it’s still a sign of how thorough the search has been for the next sideline general.

Knicks fans were inevitably excited when Mark Jackson surfaced on the radar as a potential replacement for Jeff Hornacek. The excitement has been tempered in recent weeks, but a belief still exists that Jackson can solidify the defense.
