The shortlist for the next New York Knicks head coach seems endless. After Tom Thibodeau, Mike Brown, Jason Kidd, and most recently Jamahl Mosley, the latest candidate on the block is Chris Fleming [https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/flemich01c.html]. Chris Haynes from Yahoo Sports reported that Fleming will have an interview with the Knicks on Thursday. Fleming started his coaching career with the German League and rose up the ranks to become the German National team coach. He entered the NBA in 2015 when he was hired as the assistant coach by the Denver Nuggets. After spending a year there, he worked for three years under Kenny Atkinson at the Brooklyn Nets. Finally, in May 2019, he moved to the Bulls and became the lead assistant coach. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chris-fleming.jpg] WILL A NEW COACH BE ABLE TO INSPIRE THE NEW YORK KNICKS? The last time the Knicks made the playoffs was back in 2013. Since then they have had multiple coaches and haven’t been able to keep one for more than two years. They have had a tough time in the Free Agency too after missing out on big hitters like Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-former-teammate-takes-a-dig-at-kyrie-irving-and-says-he-learned-poor-leadership-from-lebron-james/], and Kevin Durant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-throwback-looking-back-at-the-controversial-decision-kevin-durant-made-to-sign-with-the-golden-state-warriors/]. Fleming has not yet held a head coaching position in the NBA, and it will certainly be a gamble for the Knicks. But it is a gamble they could take, perhaps considering he has worked for five years in the NBA as an assistant already. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/world-wide-wes.jpg] Just a couple of weeks ago, the Knicks hired William “World Wide Wes” Wesley as Executive Vice President and Senior Basketball Advisor. He was once described as the most powerful man in sports by GQ [https://www.gq.com/story/william-wesley-worldwide-wes-nba-basketball] back in 2007. Former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ranvzBfpW5E&feature=emb_title] was impressed with this and on NBA on ESPN he said, “World Wide Wes is the best thing to happen to Knicks in 10 years.” The Knicks fans will be hoping that these new management changes will translate to success on the court too. With no postseason involvement for the Knicks, they will be looking forward to the Draft Lottery. If they can get a good pick, the Knicks could potentially draft a future franchise player and hope he can lead them to better results. 

The New York Knicks head coach hunt goes on and the latest candidate they have
added to the shortlist is Bulls current lead assistant coach.

<h2>History of Knicks throughout the years</h2>
The Knicks had great success in its initial phase under the franchise's first head coach Joe Lapchick. His coaching style focused on fast ball movement. The Knicks signed six new players, including guards Carl Braun and Wataru Misaka. Under Lapchick, the Knicks made three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals, all of which were losing efforts. Lapchick resigned in 1956 citing health reasons. The team subsequently began to falter.

It wasn't until the late 1960s that the Knicks managed to get back on top under head coach Red Holzman. In the 1969-70 season, the Knicks faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals. The 1964 draft pick Willis Reed was the captain at the time. When it comes down to it, it was Reed's determination that inspired his team to fight. Despite tearing a  muscle in his right leg in the second quarter, he went back on the court for the seventh game. Though he couldn't do much, his genuineness didn't go unnoticed. They won the game by a score of 113–99, allowing New York to capture the title that seemed to have been slipping through their fingers for so long. NY Knicks would go on to win their second title in 1972 after defeating the Lakers in five games. 
<h2>1970s to 1990s</h2>
From 1973 through to 1996, the Knicks would go through a volley of division wins, and playoff losses, getting just that much closer to semi-finals, trades, resignations, draft picks and more. These years also saw some top names like Bernard King, Patrick Ewing, Mark Jackson, Charles Oakley, etc.

Pat Riley accepted the head coach position in 1991 and immediately implemented a rough and physical style emphasizing defense. The 1993-94 season saw the Knicks reach their first NBA Finals since 1973. Unfortunately, the season ended with the Houston Rockets defeating the Knicks 4 games to 3, taking the title with them. 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-251929" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200416132359/Pat-Riley-Knicks.jpg" alt="New York Knicks former head coachPat Riley" width="1600" height="800" />
<h2>Mid 1990s to early 2010</h2>
From 1993 to 2013, the Knicks went through a massive downfall. From frequent changes in coaches to trading off players like changing socks, the New York Knicks had their more than fair share of problems. 

A well-known example of what the team went through would be the 2007 controversy of Anucha Brown Sanders, a former Knicks executive. She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the then-president Isaiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden. This resulted in a hefty fine of $11.5 million in settlement between the two parties, not to mention some major questions regarding the management.

A few notable players around this time would include <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carmelo-anthony/">Carmelo Anthony</a>. He sealed the franchise's first winning season since 2001 on April 10, 2011, by scoring the game-winning basket and making a key block in the final seconds.

Another noteworthy player would be Jeremy Lin. Lin was praised for his ability to facilitate the offense, something the Knicks had struggled to do for the first 23 games of the season.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-377575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200915145823/Jeremy_Lin_March_2012.jpg" alt="Jeremy Lin New York Knicks" width="1609" height="1920" />

 He guided the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak, bringing the team back to a .500 winning percentage. This got national media coverage, which led to this period being termed as "Linsanity". 
<h2>2013 to present</h2>
The Knicks also saw changes to business operations in late 2013, replacing general manager Glen Grunwald with former MSG president Steve Mills. They then proceeded to appoint former coach Phil Jackson as president under Mills. In 2014, Forbes ranked the Knicks as the most valuable basketball team at $1.4 billion. On March 2, 2020, Leon Rose was named president of the team, with Tom Thibadeau as the head coach.

The 2022 off-season brought a lot of change to the Knicks' roster. On June 12, 2022, the Knicks signed point guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year contract, with hopes he could bring some much-needed stability to the position. The Knicks completed the 2022–23 season with a 47–35 record, finishing in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
