Overview

• Staley confirmed on the Post Moves podcast that she interviewed this summer for the New York Knicks’ head-coaching vacancy.
• She said she asked why she was in the candidate pool and what the Knicks were seeking, pressing the team on its vision for a more unified organization.
• She also asked how hiring the NBA’s first female head coach would affect executives’ daily work, which she believes changed the interview’s tone.
