The New York Knicks “doubtless” explored the opportunity of hiring Joe Mazzulla final offseason by means of backchannels, in line with Marc Stein of The Stein Line.
The Knicks requested to talk to 5 head coaches throughout their search, together with Jason Kidd, Ime Udoka, Billy Donovan, Chris Finch, and Quin Snyder.
The Knicks had been denied in every of their requests earlier than ultimately hiring Mike Brown.
Mazzulla would go on to signal a multi-year extension with the Celtics in August.
It’s believed that Mazzulla signed a six-year deal just like Brad Stevens.
