The Knicks have worked quickly this offseason to fortify themselves as arguably the Eastern Conference favorites entering 2025-26. All they need is a head coach.

The New York Knicks will interview two-time NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown for a second time as they seek Tom Thibodeau's replacement, a person with knowledge of the details said Monday. Brown's return this week will make him the first of the known candidates to get a second interview for the position that has been vacant for nearly a month.

The New York Knicks' coaching search has led them to Dawn Staley, the longtime women's coach at South Carolina and one of the most accomplished players and coaches the women's game has ever seen. South Carolina athletic director Jeremiah Donati recently confirmed that the Knicks have indeed reached out to Staley.

In a groundbreaking development for professional sports, Dawn Staley is reportedly in contention for the New York Knicks head coaching job, potentially making history as the first female head coach in a major men's professional sports league.
