According to New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy, the Mavericks officially rejected the request of the Knicks to interview assistant coach Jay Triano.

It is reported that the Knicks hoped that Jay Triano would come to interview for the position of chief assistant coach and offensive coordinator, but the Mavericks refused.

Triano was Brown's chief assistant coach in Sacramento, but he just signed a new contract and will join Kidd's coaching staff, along with Vogel and Popeye Jones.
