While there was internal support for Mike Miller to remain with the New York Knicks as an assistant coach, he will pursue other opportunities due to the presumed hierarchy of the bench.

Johnny Bryant and Kenny Payne would likely be ahead of Miller on Tom Thibodeau's bench, while Mike Woodson is also expected to be hired and would be ahead of him.

Miller impressed Leon Rose during their time together. 

Miller replaced David Fizdale as interim head coach during the 19-20 season.
