Knicks rumors: New York ‘tossing around' coach idea after 2 ‘impressive' interviews
The post Knicks rumors: New York 'tossing around' coach idea after 2 'impressive' interviews appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Knicks shocked the basketball world when they fired longtime head coach Tom Thibodeau earlier this month. Despite multiple rumors surrounding big-name candidates, a recent report suggests that a dark horse could be entering the race. Advertisement According to James Edwards III of The Athletic, the Knicks have 'tossed around' the idea of speaking with former Charlotte Hornets head coach James Borrego. 'Borrego, a CAA client, is known around the league for his offensive creativity and analytics-forward approach,' Edwards III wrote. 'Borrego spent last season as an assistant coach on Willie Green's staff in New Orleans and was last a head coach for the Charlotte Hornets from 2018-22. His record in those four seasons doesn't pop off the screen, but Borrego led the struggling franchise to a 43-win season just before he was let go.' This would not be an entirely surprising hire considering, Knicks relationship with CAA clients has been well-documented across president Leon Rose's time with the team. But, it should also be noted that this most recent report also indicates that both former Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins and Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown are still considered the favorites at this time. Advertisement The team conducted interviews with these coaches last week and was impressed by both, according to the report. While it might be unlikely to happen, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd could also still be in the picture. 'While a long shot to join New York, Kidd — who is under contract for two more years and the Mavericks, per league sources, have shown no interest to this point in allowing their coach to leave — still hasn't agreed to an extension like other currently-employed head coaches who the Knicks showed interest in during the first stage of their search,' Edwards III wrote. While it is largely anyone's guess as to who the Knicks will ultimately hire, it is evident that the franchise is exploring all possible options.

76-yr-old refugee struggles to get citizenship under CAA for lack of parents' Bangladeshi birth certificates
Nagpur: It has been an year since Gauri Shankar Mallick, a 76-year-old refugee from erstwhile East Pakistan, applied under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) to get Indian citizenship. His file is stuck as the govt is insisting on submission of the birth certificates of his parents, which Mallick says is impossible to get from what is now Bangladesh in a flux. A recent communication sent to Mallick from the govt states that even though the rest of his documents have been submitted, it is mandatory to provide proof of his parents' date of birth or his own birth certificate. None of these are available, he says. Like millions of Hindus escaping killings by the Pakistani army, Mallick came to India in 1970 with his relatives from Khulna in East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh a year later. His parents joined him later, and they finally found place in the Mana refugee camp set up at Raipur, now the capital of Chhattisgarh. "The entire family was scattered due to the chaos and there was no means of communication either," he says. As reported by TOI earlier, Mallick submitted all the documents, including those issued from the refugee camp. Yet, the authorities still want proof of his parents' date of birth to be uploaded on the portal, says the document shared with TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo All Mallick has is his mother Kalisdasi's death certificate. "My father, Shubhlal Mallick, who was then in his seventies, died in the refugee camp itself. My mother lived with me in Gadchiroli until around 2000. Now, how can I get their birth certificates from Bangladesh, especially now when there is fresh trouble in the country?" he asks. Repeated emails to the home ministry have only been met with silence, says Mallick, who now lives in Gondia with his son. Mallick and his family settled in India like other East Pakistanis. They got land in the interiors of Gadchiroli, and he also got a job in a Bengali school started by the Indian govt for refugee children. More than 50 years down the line, leading a retired life, Mallick applied for a passport in 2019 and was asked to submit citizenship proof, he says. Later, he applied under CAA in 2024 when the law was notified. The other papers submitted by Mallick include a ration card issued in 1990 and a certificate from the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education at Jessore, then East Pakistan and now Bangladesh, which was not considered enough. Dr Subhodh Biswa, president of Nikhil Bangla Samanbay Samiti, an association of erstwhile East Pakistani Hindus, says the govt must ease the norms as it is leading to hardships for the applicants. "How would others who came in the later years escaping religious persecution get citizenship if Mallick, who officially landed at a refugee camp 50 years ago, struggles to get the official status as an Indian national? After so many years, the question of obtaining citizenship should not arise at all," said Biswas. Another source involved in CAA applications also confirmed that birth certificates of parents are mandatory with citizenship applications.

Arsenal add Eberechi Eze to transfer shortlist as Tottenham battle looms
In demand: Eberechi Eze is attracting interest from Arsenal and Tottenham after a fine season at Crystal Palace (Getty Images) Arsenal have added Eberechi Eze to their list of transfer targets, joining Tottenham in the race for the Crystal Palace star. Arsenal are tracking a number of versatile attackers this summer as they look to sign a wide player able to provide competition for Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, and Standard Sport understands that Eze has been added to the list. Advertisement As well as Eze, the Gunners' hierarchy are also tracking Rodrygo at Real Madrid and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon. Eze also remains of interest to long-time admirers Spurs, who have a close relationship with - and a number of key players signed to - Eze's agency, CAA Base. He could leave Crystal Palace this summer with his contract at Selhurst Park said to contain a £68million release clause, payable in three instalments. Eze, who turns 27 on Sunday, finished the season in superb form, following up his first international goal for England against Latvia in March by scoring nine times in Palace's last 13 games of the campaign, including the match-winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester City as the Eagles lifted their first-ever major trophy at Wembley. Advertisement Interest from Arsenal is pertinent given that Eze was part of their prestigious Hale End Academy until being released at the age of 13. Arsenal will announce the signing of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea in the coming days. The Gunners are paying £5m to sign the Spaniard from their London rivals. He will become their new second-choice goalkeeper after leaving the Blues, where he knew he was not part of the club's plans moving forward. There is also an agreement in place for Arsenal to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard for an initial £10m plus up to £5m in add-ons. The midfielder was keen to join Arsenal as soon as he heard of their interest and is set to undergo a medical. His arrival would follow the departure of Jorginho and anticipated exit of Thomas Partey as a free agent. Both operate in the same position as Norgaard.

Rajnath Singh Slams Oppn For 'Crocodile Tears' Over CAA, Cites Hindu Persecution In Bangladesh
Last Updated: Rajnath Singh accused the opposition of double standards, saying they vehemently opposed the CAA while constantly shedding "crocodile tears" for minorities. Amid concerns over the treatment of minority communities in India's neighbouring countries, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday slammed the opposition parties for opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) when it was introduced. Rajnath Singh accused the opposition of double standards, saying they vehemently opposed the CAA while constantly shedding 'crocodile tears" for minorities. 'Seeing the atrocities inflicted on minority communities in neighbouring countries, our government passed the CAA, which was opposed the most by those political parties that shed crocodile tears for minorities day and night," Singh said. The Defence Minister addressed BJP workers at the party's state executive meeting in Patna, delivering a morale-boosting speech ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Referring specifically to Bangladesh, Singh added, 'The situation in Bangladesh is getting quite bad. What is happening to the Hindu community there is nothing less than a stain on the forehead of any civilised society." The remarks come against the backdrop of disturbing reports of increasing violence and systemic discrimination against Hindus in Bangladesh. The government has faced criticism in recent years over the CAA, with opposition parties alleging it discriminates on religious lines. However, Singh reiterated that the Act is intended purely as a humanitarian measure to offer refuge to persecuted minorities from countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. The CAA, enacted in December 2019, allows non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India before December 31, 2014, to apply for Indian citizenship. While it has sparked widespread political and public debate, the government has maintained it is a targeted response to a humanitarian crisis, not a violation of secular principles.
