Coach Cal to Leave Kentucky for Knicks?

According to ESPN, New York Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni has resigned. No surprise, after a fleeting moment of Linsanity, the Knicks plunged back to earth with a thud.   For the time being, Assistant Mike Woodson is leading the team, but speculation already has it the next coach of the Knicks could be Kentucky's John Calipari, among others.

He coached in the NBA from 1996 to 2000, first as head coach of the New Jersey Nets and then as an assistant for the Philadelphia 76ers. His Nets went 72-112.  Not exactly a stellar NBA record.  So why would he do it? Money & Power. He could leverage his way to coach and GM of the Knicks.  For his part, Calipari is tweeting he isn't interested.

On the flip side, this sounds remarkably similar to the things Coach Cal was saying about Memphis, prior to bolting to Kentucky.  It would however, make sense to remain King of the Commonwealth, than have another dismal run in the NBA. I wouldn't expect him to leave for the Knicks unless there's a need to "get outta town" (Lexington) just ahead of NCAA investigators.
