In the wake of David Fizdale’s firing, the Knicks have made a decision on who will lead the team for the remainder of the season. Mike Miller will be promoted to interim coach, as Shams Charania of The Athletic relays on Twitter.

Miller (not to be confused with former NBA player Mike Miller) was the G League Coach of the Year back in the 2017/18 season. He spent four seasons leading the Westchester Knicks before being promoted to the NBA’s bench as an assistant on Fizdale’s staff. Miller has 60 games left in the season to make his mark on the Knicks.
Charania also reports that former NBA player Keith Bogans will become an assistant on Miller’s staff. Bogans had been on the team’s coaching staff in Westchester.
Need Mark Jackson
Doesn’t matter who coaches this year to many guys on the team playin selfish for their next contract.
They stink
I dont understand why jackson never got another chance after he helped prep the warriors young player pre-dynasty. that’s also the reason why I’m not sure he’d take the Knicks gig if offered. considering he’s been passed over repeatedly jackson probably only gets 1 more chance to prove he’s a solid NBA coach and we all know the Knicks history with coaches/gms/presidents/shi**y ownership
There’s a reason Mark Jackson hasn’t had a coaching job in five years, and a reason the Warriors took off the second he was fired. They’re the same reason: he’s not a good coach.
Yawn
Oh now they’ll make the playoffs for sure
How do you say Knicks in Hebrew? Shawshank
Lmao
gotta believe the hope with Miller and bogans is to focus specifically to develop the young guys by any means necessary
Disappointed it ain’t MIKE Miller
my thoughts when I originally saw this as well
Yes!! Glad Keith gets a chance. Heck of a player, heck of a person.
