The New York Knicks have run through 10 coaches this century, including three in the past four years, so they may have trouble attracting the most established coaching candidates in their search to replace David Fizdale. Hammon became the first full-time female assistant coach in any of the big four American sports in 2014 after a 16-year run in the WNBA. Sources told CNBC's Jabari Young and Ganesh Setty that Hammon would have interest in the position if she could land a four- or five-year deal.
