The New York Knicks' coaching search got a massive update on Monday after a report regarding Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd.

The New York Knicks entered the offseason riding high after their best campaign in decades. Their 51-31 record delivered the franchise’s first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 1999, though that magical run came to an abrupt halt against the Indiana Pacers in six games.

As the New York Knicks continue their search for their next franchise head coach, more details have emerged about their quest. They have reached out to several teams expressing interest in their head coaches,

It has been reported that the Dallas Mavericks denied a request to interview Jason Kidd, the Minnesota Timberwolves said no to Chris Finch, the Houston Rockets did the same with Ime Udoka, the Atlanta Hawks rejected a Quin Snyder interview, and the Chicago Bulls also shut down the idea of Billy Donovan.

The Knicks’ coaching search after firing Tom Thibodeau last week isn’t off to a hot start.

Several reports now indicate that the New York Knicks are expected to come up short in their pursuit of Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd as their replacement for Tom Thibodeau. ESPN reported Wednesday morning that Dallas gave a "firm rejection" to the Knicks when they requested permission to talk to Kidd.
