Stan Van Gundy has no interest in coaching ‘dysfunctional’ Knicks

It’s going to take some serious work to find someone who wants to coach the New York Knicks.

Stan Van Gundy certainly won’t be doing it. The veteran coach told ESPN Radio that he had no interest in the job, citing the “extremely dysfunctional” organization. He added that his brother, Jeff Van Gundy, might not want the job either.

Stan Van Gundy asked on ESPN Radio if he'd take Knicks coaching job if offered. Answers talking about Jeff Van Gundy: "No…There's a family history there. If anyone would be interested in that — and I'm not sure he is either — it would be my brother." https://t.co/RIkALh0Dne pic.twitter.com/rx2npTu6p5

Neither of these guys may be the favorite for the head coaching job, but if this is the thinking around the league, the Knicks are in trouble.

There is a widespread perception of owner James Dolan as incompetent among league fans. The scarcity of NBA head coaching jobs dictates that someone will eventually be hired, but it’s not exactly the most desirable position around.
