The New York Knicks’ coaching search could lead them to a man who has done plenty of winning at Madison Square Garden over the past decade.
According to a report from Adam Zagoria of Forbes, the Knicks have expressed interest in Villanova men’s basketball head coach Jay Wright. Zagoria’s sources claim “there is a strong possibility that Jay Wright in New York could happen.”
Wright and Villanova have not commented on the rumors.
This is far from the first time that Wright has been connected to an NBA vacancy. The Knicks themselves previously reached out to him after the 2018 firing of Jeff Hornacek.
