Some notes on The Putback with @IanBegley about names that have been rumored for the Knicks to potentially consider as their next head coach: 🔸 Johnnie Bryant: "You can connect the dots, he was the associate head coach under Tom Thibodeau. He was hired by the Knicks because they saw a lot in him...logic tells you that he would at least be under consideration." 🔸 Jay Wright: "I could say today that I'd be surprised if that's the direction it went." 🔸 Michael Malone: "In talking to people since he got fired, never heard that was something people were super excited about. Opinions change...never struck me as a slam-dunk hire." 🔸 Taylor Jenkins: "Hadn't heard that either." 🔸 Dan Hurley: "I guess it's possible..." Ian notes at the end: "You're going to lean on the guys in your locker room. You want a guy that they're comfortable with, because if you're married to the core, you want the coach to be somebody who fits what they like to do."

Karl-Anthony Towns is at Yankee Stadium tonight! 🇩🇴
