The New York Knicks are in the process of vetting candidates and evaluating the future of the head coach position. With Jeff Hornacek out, the Knicks have compiled a candidate list that’s reached nine names—and that’s just whom the public knows of.
One of the most polarizing names to surface on the Knicks’ radar is former point guard and current ESPN commentator Mark Jackson.
Jackson was drafted by the Knicks in 1987 and played six seasons with the organization. He was also a successful head coach for the Golden State Warriors, leading the team out of a period of darkness and back to relevance.
