The NBA Knicks, who fired Thibodeau, have been looking for coaches from other teams to interview, but they have hit a wall at every turn

The Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals in this year's NBA playoffs, and after being eliminated, the team announced that they would fire Tom Thibodeau and began to look for a new coach.

The Mavericks refused to allow the Knicks to interview their head coach Kidd

"ESPN" reporter Charania pointed out on the 12th that the Knicks officially applied to interview Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd (Jason Kidd) and Hawks head coach Quin Snyder (Quin Snyder), but they were all rejected. In fact, in addition to these two, the Knicks have recently applied to the Timberwolves and Rockets for whether they can be with the head coaches of the two teamsFinch(Chris Finch) and Ime Udoka were interviewed, but both were denied.

Generally, when a team wants to change coaches, they usually promote assistant coaches, or find famous coaches in the market who have no jobs, such as Michael Malone, who has just been fired from the Nuggets, but the current news from the Knicks is that they are interested in the head coaches of other teams.

Hawks head coach Snyder was also on the Knicks' list of pursuits, but the Hawks also declined the Knicks' request for an interview.

As for whether there have been successful poaching of coaches with contracts in the past? The answer is yes, and that person happens to be Kidd, in the summer of 2014, the Bucks got the consent of the Nets and successfully poached Kidd from the Nets as a head coach, for which the Bucks provided 2 second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2019, completing a rare "head coach deal".
