"I interviewed for the Knicks. I did. It was the same interview that everybody else [had] that was in their candidate pool. Same thing."
"It was like hours. But in the interview, I thought I did pretty well. I was well prepared for the interview."
"If the Knicks would have offered me the job, I would have had to do it. Not just for me. It's for women. Just to break open that [door], I would have to. It's the New York Knicks, and I'm from Philly, but it's the freaking New York Knicks. And I did say that in the interview. The NBA has to be ready for a female head coach. You can't just interview somebody and say, 'We're gonna hire her.'"
Dawn Staley, a Hall of Famer and head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball team, interviewed with the New York Knicks for the franchise's head coaching vacancy before the hiring of Mike Brown. The interview lasted hours and followed the same candidate process used for others. Staley considered her preparation strong and believed she performed well. She would have accepted a Knicks offer to advance opportunities for women and to break barriers. Staley emphasized that the NBA must be prepared for a female head coach and warned of intense scrutiny in the New York market.
