Donnie Walsh has extended his search for the next coach of the New York Knicks to include Chuck Person, according to Newsday.

Person is a former Walsh protege, who is currently working as an assistant for the Kings. Walsh is expected to contact Sacramento about having an interview with Person, who was drafted by the former Pacer executive in Indiana.

"I've talked to quite a few people, not so much that are candidates, but [other] people about the candidates," Walsh said. "And there are some guys that I probably will call up their franchises and ask to see if I can get permission."
