With the addition of William Wesley in an official capacity Wednesday morning the Knicks front office is lined up to move on to the most pressing matter for the organization — hiring a head coach.
With 11 confirmed candidates for the job already beginning video interviews the Knicks are moving forward with the search and while the addition of Wesley as Executive Vice President — Senior Basketball Adviser has some sources close to candidates believing that this only has made the eventual hiring of Tom Thibodeau a fait accompli.
Thibodeau, who has had success in Chicago and Minnesota as a head coach already, has ties to Rose and Wesley and this move certainly doesn’t diminish his chances of being the choice.
