Chaney mulls Cowen as top aide Added: 8th May, 2003 8:28 AM ET New York Daily News: Don Chaney is still weeks away from finalizing his new staff but the Knicks head coach is leaning toward making Dave Cowens his top assistant, according to a person close to Chaney. The choice is a logical one since Chaney and Cowens are former Celtics teammates and have remained close friends over the years. Cowens also has head coaching experience, which Knicks officials view as an essential requirement for the job.

He has also been an assistant with San Antonio and the Warriors. Read Article
