Former Villanova coach Jay Wright confirmed that he is not interested in the Knicks' head coaching vacancy and wishes to remain retired.

The New York Knicks are in the market for a new coach after firing Tom Thibodeau, and their focus is on established, experienced coaches. The Knicks are reportedly planning on requesting permission to interview Mavericks coach Jason Kidd for the job-- with the Rockets declining to allow them to do so with Ime Udoka.

There was some speculation that a legendary college coach was in the mix for the New York Knicks' vacant head coaching job, but that won't be the case.
