\n Nine days into his tenure as president of the Knicks, Leon Rose\u2019s job was upended by a pandemic.<\/p>\n

More than three months later, he still has one huge task waiting on his plate: hiring a head coach.<\/p>\n

In his first public comments since joining the Knicks in March, Rose delivered a blueprint of what he is looking for in a head coach and said he hopes to have the process wrapp<\/a>ed up by the end of July.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to find the right leader that can develop our young players, as well as hold everyone accountable and take us from development to becoming a perennial winner,\u201d Rose said in an interview with Mike Breen that aired Wednesday night on MSG Network. \u201cWe also want somebody that we think will be collaborative with the front office and someone that, when you\u2019re in that huddle and you\u2019re looking in that coach\u2019s eyes, every player that\u2019s looking at him knows that that person is driving the ship and going to get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose did not want to get into names, but Tom Thibodeau, who is widely considered to be the front-runner for the job, would seem to fit that description. The only candidate Rose did name was Mike Miller, the \u201cfirst-class\u201d interim coach, who he said was the first person he spoke to about the full-time job.<\/p>\n

There are currently 11 known candidates that the Knicks will interview. Rose said the process, which is \u201ceducational\u201d for him, would be split into two phases \u2014 first, a shorter meeting to break the ice, and then full interviews.<\/p>\n

Here are other takeaways from Rose\u2019s first comments as president of the Knicks:<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> Beyond a head coach, there are plenty of decisions facing Rose in terms of roster building for next season. He called RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson \u201ctwo young core pieces,\u201d but also brought up three other young players who face uncertain futures with the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with Kevin [Knox]. I think he\u2019s just starting to scratch the surface,\u201d Rose said. \u201cFrank Ntilikina, given the right circumstances, I think can really prosper. And Dennis Smith, that\u2019s a special talent right there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose then referred to \u201csome solid veterans and Julius [Randle] coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks played six game<\/a>s from the time Rose took over to when COVID-19 suspended the season. That robbed the former powerhouse agent of 16 games he had hoped to use to evaluate his roster. Instead, he said he has spent a lot of time watching film of his current players and talking to general<\/a> manager Scott Perry about them. He also sounded hopeful that the eight teams not involved in the NBA\u2019s resumption in Orlando might be able to get together \u201cto get some work in.\u201d<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> One of the biggest challenges for any Knicks executive in recent history has been trying to lure top talent to New York. Rose represented plenty of stars in his role as an agent, but now he is on the other side of the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have to create is an environment where players are going to want to come here,\u201d Rose said. \u201cThe way to do that is on the day-to-day, with the players that we have, with the organization we have and making sure that every aspect of that is going to be player-friendly, it\u2019s going to be first class. We\u2019re going to work as hard as we can to show people that this is a place you want to be at.\u201d<\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Besides the pandemic, social<\/a> unrest regarding systemic racism has also overtaken the country since the Knicks last played. Rose said he and Perry have stayed in touch with players and \u201cwe support them in any platforms they want to participate in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe here at the Knicks and MSG condemn racism, won\u2019t tolerate it,\u201d Rose said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
