New York Knicks Plan to Ask Mavs to Speak to Jason Kidd About Head Coach Job, per Reports

The New York Knicks dismissed their head coach Tom Thibodeau earlier this week, despite him leading the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2000.
This move followed the Knicks’ surprising loss in the conference finals and their belief that Thibodeau had not maximized the roster's potential.
The Knicks plan to formally request permission from the Dallas Mavericks to interview head coach Jason Kidd, who has been with Dallas since 2021 and recently signed a contract extension.
Marc Stein reports that Kidd is viewed as the leading candidate by New York and was instrumental in giving Knicks leader Jalen Brunson a significant opportunity during their time together in Dallas, though the Mavericks may refuse to grant an interview.
If denied, the Knicks will pursue other established coaches, while Kidd’s potential departure could mark a significant change for the Mavericks amid their recent roster upheaval.
