June 8th, the Knicks fired Thibodeau and are currently vigorously selecting coaches.

According to reporter SethDavis, Jay Wright confirmed personally that he had informed the Knicks that he was not interested in any coaching position and planned to continue to enjoy his retirement life.

Jay Wright, 63, served as head coach of Villanova from 2001 to 2022. In 21 seasons, he led the team to the NCAA Championship 16 times, reached the Ultimate Four four times, and won the championship twice in 2016 and 2018.

Knicks core players Brunson, Bridges, Hart and Divincenzo, who were sent away before, were all his disciples.
