Knicks want to hire their new head coach by end of July

The goal of the New York Knicks is to hire the new head coach by the end of July.

Per ESPN, Speaking in his first interview since he was hired in March, Rose told MSG Network’s Mike Breen that he intends to have “two phases” of interviews, conducting short meetings with candidates to “break the ice” before having “full interviews” with possible coaches.

“We’re looking at a lot of different people with a lot of different mindsets, philosophies,” Rose told Breen. “And for me personally, this is educational, and I need to make sure that we go through this process and we dot every I and cross every T in order to make the right decision.”

“We want to find the right leader that can develop our young players as well as hold everyone accountable,” Rose said.
