New York Knicks President Leon Rose has been impressed with Interim Head Coach Mike Miller who happened to be hired by Allan Houston in 2015 to coach the Westchester Knicks. The future of current General Manager Scott Perry is unknown but it’s worth noting he has a strong relationship with Leon Rose’s confidante, William Wesley who’s also known as “World Wide Wes”. William Wesley is significantly noted for his relationships with numerous high-profile NBA players, team owners, college basketball head coaches, and their agents. Wesley is known to be one of the most influential men on the business side of basketball. Therefore, Wesley’s strong relationship with Scott Perry and his long-time acquaintanceship with Leon Rose strengthens the likelihood of Scott Perry’s position being retained or expanded. Allan Houston and Scott Perry may very well continue forward in their respective front office roles under Leon Rose.
Allan Houston assembled a Westchester Knicks team who finished the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons with a combined record of 61-39, making it to the G-League Conference Semifinals both seasons. Allan Houston has been doing a phenomenal job due to his basketball mind and his ability to adapt and connect with others. Allan Houston has proven his worthiness of an expanded front-office role.
