\n Jamahl Mosley, a Knicks coaching candidate, is in his sixth season on Rick Carlisle\u2019s Mavericks staff. The 41-year-old has emerged as one of the league\u2019s top young assistants destined to take the next step.<\/p>\n

However, it was legendary coach George Karl \u2014 not Carlisle \u2014 who gave Mosley his first job in the NBA, hiring him to work out Nuggets players in 2006 for the paltry salary of $25,000.<\/p>\n

Mosley, a 6-foot-8 star power forward at the University of Colorado, was with Karl from 2006-10, going from player developmental coach to bench assistant coach in their last two seasons together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he had a great connection with today\u2019s player,\u2019\u2019 the retired Karl told The Post from his home in Denver. \u201cHe was hungry. He was big in player development, then toward the end of his time, we gave him scouting reports, game<\/a>-plan responsibilities. He was really good with basketball intellect and really good with players. That\u2019s the combo you need in today\u2019s world and changing attitudes of the young players.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Denver, Mosley worked closely with Carmelo Anthony \u2014 a client of Leon Rose, now the Knicks president. Mosley\u2019s been a guru in Dallas for Luka Doncic and was the same for Dennis Smith Jr. before his trade to the Knicks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a young man that\u2019s worked extremely hard to build up his reputation as a great young coach, great communicator,\u201d Carlisle said last week on a Dallas radio station. \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to be with us much longer, honestly. Whether it\u2019s the Knicks or somebody else, this guy is going to be a head coach sooner than later. The opportunity to talk to the Knicks is one that he\u2019s earned.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Mosley joined Karl\u2019s staff, he had recently ended his playing career in Europe \u2014 and proved invaluable in practice drills. Tim Grgurich, Karl\u2019s longtime player-developmental guru, took Mosley \u201cunder his wing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I saw in Jamahl, we\u2019re a staff that likes to go on the court and work,\u2019\u2019 Karl said. \u201cWe don\u2019t believe in Club Med workouts. Players like to shoot jump shots and go at their own pace. I\u2019m a believer to go at game speed in everything and put defenders on you in drills. Jamahl could do that because he was still a pretty good player and was big, and covered big and little guys. He had a lot of versatility for our staff. He picked up all the lingo quickly and showed he\u2019s very bright.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now Karl believes Mosley is head-coaching material.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was his daily enthusiasm and desire to put in the time to be a really good coach,\u2019\u2019 said Karl, who hosts a podcast \u201cTruth and Basketball.\u2019\u2019 \u201cHe reminds me a lot of coach [Dwane] Casey when I had him in Seattle and Terry Stotts [Karl\u2019s assistant in Seattle and Milwaukee]. They both went on to be very good head coaches, and like them, Jamahl is defensive-minded.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Karl believes Mosley has a good foundation with himself and Carlisle as mentors. In Dallas, Mosley has served as Carlisle\u2019s defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Denver and Dallas won a lot of basketball games when [Jamahl] was there,\u2019\u2019 Karl said. \u201cRick is different than I am but that makes you a better coach when you learn you can do things differently and still be successful.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Rose is interviewing 11 candidates with Mosley one of five assistants without head-coaching experience. Mosley is also one of the four black candidates. The NBA entered the season with just eight African-American head coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of what is happ<\/a>ening with our country, which needs to wake up,\u2019\u2019 Karl said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been unfair and unequal to African-Americans. The NBA is 90 percent black. Yes, they need to be given more positions of power and influence and we need more black owners, too.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Karl ranks sixth all-time in career NBA coaching victories (1,175). He texted Mosley last week, telling him how much he deserves head-coaching interviews. Last season, Mosley turned down a chance to interview with the Cavaliers. Mosley was a Cavaliers assistant from 2010-14, leaving Karl for a big pay raise.<\/p>\n

Before Mosley left for Cleveland, Karl said he instilled in him the knowledge to keep the game simple with an emphasis on communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got to have a good philosophy but every coaching staff has that,\u2019\u2019 Karl said. \u201cIt\u2019s the energy and passion you bring that makes it work. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s smarter coaches than other coaches. The coaches that communicate what they want and get a commitment from [the players] to do it is what makes it work.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
