Knicks denied by Mavericks again as Jay Triano request gets shut down

LAS VEGAS — The Knicks were denied permission by the Mavericks to interview Jay Triano for their associate coaching position, The Post has learned. 

Triano, 66, is among several candidates the Knicks are considering for their vacant position, a league source said.

He would’ve been a natural fit after serving as Brown’s top assistant and offensive coordinator in Sacramento last season.

For Triano, a move to the Knicks would’ve been a promotion from the Mavericks and those requests are typically granted.
