Isiah Thomas plans to speak to Flip Saunders about the Knicks vacant head coaching position. Stephon Marbury, who was coached by Saunders in Minnesota, appears interested in reuniting. He called Saunders a "great coach" in February.
Other candidates for the head coaching position include Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, and Paul Silas.
The Knicks are beginning to pursue their 'Plan B' coaches, such as Saunders, as published reports indicate that Kobe Bryant would like Phil Jackson to return to Los Angeles.
