Knicks wanted Jason Kidd & then called at least three other head coaches under contract. You don’t do that if Mike Brown is your first choice.
Of course, all that matters now is if he’s the right choice. Great guy with solid credentials. – 2:50 PM

According to a source, the Knicks are still holding out hope that Jason Kidd can free himself from Dallas. Good luck. There have been no more attempts on circling back with Bulls coach Billy Donovan, especially with the belief that he has already signed his extension. – 7:41 PM

Jason Kidd was the No. 1 target – and until the Knicks name a coach you can’t entirely rule him out – but Mike Brown is emerging as the front runner. – 2:50 PM
