The New York Knicks have been denied permission to interview several head coaches who are under contract with other NBA teams, but their top choice could reportedly still be in play.

This last week, during the New York Knicks coaching search, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s name kept coming up. Finally, after our poll was up and running, the Knicks actually asked official permission to interview Kidd. Finally, the Mavericks said no, putting the kibosh on this whole idea (we think).
