The New York Knicks' coaching search got a massive update on Monday after a report regarding Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd.

So what was the plan? Just hope that a team with a good coach was going to let him go to New York in exchange for draft picks?

It has been reported that the Dallas Mavericks denied a request to interview Jason Kidd, the Minnesota Timberwolves said no to Chris Finch, the Houston Rockets did the same with Ime Udoka, the Atlanta Hawks rejected a Quin Snyder interview, and the Chicago Bulls also shut down the idea of Billy Donovan.

Several reports now indicate that the New York Knicks are expected to come up short in their pursuit of Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd as their replacement for Tom Thibodeau. ESPN reported Wednesday morning that Dallas gave a "firm rejection" to the Knicks when they requested permission to talk to Kidd.

If the team's real plan was to poach another team's coach, that shows a level of organizational incompetence that Barkley is right to roast them for having. However, we'll give the Knicks the benefit of the doubt until we see who their next head coach is.

The New York Knicks were denied permission to speak with coaches Jason Kidd of Dallas, Ime Udoka of Houston and Chris Finch of Minnesota in a slow start to find Tom Thibodeau’s replacement.

After finishing a 17-year NBA career, Jackson became the Golden State Warriors' head coach in 2011 and led the team back to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. While his time in the Bay Area saw him lead the Dubs back to legitimate status, Mark also faced numerous criticisms of his leadership style inside the locker room.
