The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly expected to deny the New York Knicks permission to interview head coach Jason Kidd, should they request it.

The Mavericks head coach has emerged as a potential Knicks head coaching candidate after Tom Thibodeau's departure. Dallas has not received a request to interview Jason Kidd.

Kidd and Rockets head coach Ime Udoka have both garnered interest from the Knicks, despite currently working for other teams. Stein previously reported that an interview request to the Rockets would “categorically ... be rejected” and that “a similar response would be expected from the Mavericks.”
