David Fizdale‘s tenure with the New York Knicks ended in abrupt fashion. Following a players-only meeting and a solid practice, Knicks brass canned the charismatic coach and installed Mike Miller as the interim head coach. Fizdale wasn’t put in the best situation, but simply put, he didn’t win enough to keep his job.
And like they’ve done so many times since the year 2000, the Knicks are searching for a head coach, yet again. Tom Thibodeau emerged as an early favorite and still stands out as the likely choice, but team president Leon Rose is conducting a thorough process with as many as 11 candidates in the mix.
