Mike Brown is set to replace Tom Thibodeau, who was fired despite leading the Knicks to their first conference finals in 25 years.

The New York Knicks' unique attempts at filling their current head coaching vacancy has made for one of the league's most notable charades in the month since th

NBA free agency period is officially underway and the New York Knicks still have not picked a new head coach to lead the way. After firing Tom Thibodeau, the search for his replacement has not gone smoothly.

After the New York Knicks' coaching search led them to Dawn Staley, the longtime women's coach at South Carolina is not considered a finalist for the vacant position, according to The Athletic. One of the most accomplished players and coaches the women's game has ever seen reportedly "impressed" in conversation with the Knicks.

Despite some interaction between the two sides, University of South Carolina head women's basketball coach Dawn Staley is reportedly not in the running to be the next head coach of the New York Knicks.

There have been few coaching situations that have been bungled in quite the way the Knicks have bungled their situation this offseason. The team started with firing Tom Thibodeau after he led them to 51 wins and a trip to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
