Jay Wright will not be the next head coach of the Knicks, while the New York's request to interview Jason Kidd is reportedly expected to be turned down.

The Knicks are reportedly planning on requesting permission to interview Mavericks coach Jason Kidd for the job -- with the Rockets declining to allow them to do so with Ime Udoka .
