TARRYTOWN, NY—The New York Knicks are expected to make a big splash with their next coaching hire. “Marketing guru” Steve Stoute is already writing off interim head coach Mike Miller and his coaching staff. The organization and Stoute quickly walked back the comments he made on ESPN’s “First Take” and chalked it up to a mishap on live television. Still, the words cannot be unsaid.
One big name on the horizon is John Calipari.
The longtime University of Kentucky head coach has numerous connections to the Knicks, including a close friendship with incoming president Leon Rose.
