Probably a combo as “technically” since these coaches are under contract, I would think they need permission to even engage them. Either way, this search is going no where real quick.
Hate to say it, but this is looking more and more like the dysfunctional Knicks organization of the first twenty years of this century. Made no sense to fire Thibs unless they had what they considered a strong replacement who they knew they could land.
At this point they should be feeling out Jeff Van Gundy’s interest imho
But since Dolan’s fingerprints are all over the coaching move doubt the egomaniac goes for a guy he has fired.

Who would have guessed that decision making led by Jim "Tommy Boy" Dolan would be aimless and haphazard? Clown shoes.
Just wait till he gets us those 500,000 brake pads and see who’s squealing
It just befuddles me that some Knick fans are actually surprised that while firing Thibs the Knicks had absolutely NO plan to who they actually wanted to, you know, Coach the team!
The Knicks are now like the drunk flopping around in their bedroom looking for the bathroom while vomiting
all over themselves. People don’t need to wonder why it’s been 50 years give or take since they last won the title.

Fair to wonder if Knicks, knowing Thibs was not their guy, had any semblance of an alternative plan. This feels “Dolanesque”.
Mike Brown, sheesh!
Of those names Taylor Jenkins makes the most sense to me.Fair to wonder if Knicks, knowing Thibs was not their guy, had any semblance of an alternative plan. This feels “Dolanesque”.

Is there any precedent for a coach of a professional sports team firing a coach and then "un-firing" that person (besides Billy Martin and George)?
How about the NYK Search Firm (Heidrick & Struggles, CHI (actual name, kid you not)), scouring the pool of available candidates and coming back to the Knicks and reporting "the most qualified available candidate, Mr. Dolan, is Tom Thibodeau. You may know that name" "Thank you, sir, and please pay our Invoice of $650,000"

Relationships have been key to the Knicks' success in the past five years. They might be integral to their current coaching search, too.
Maybe WWW is asking Tyler Kolek about Shaka Smart.
