The next head coach of the NY Knicks is Derek Fisher

NEW YORK --- The New York Knicks have an agreement in place with Derek Fisher to become the team's next coach, according to multiple outlets, including ESPNNewYork.com.

The two sides are in the process of finalizing a five-year, $25 million deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The Knicks have scheduled a news conference at 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday to "make a major announcement." After the news conference, Jackson will fly overseas Tuesday night for his son's wedding, while Fisher is expected to attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night.

Asked in a group of three reporters about hiring Fisher in the bowels of Madison Square Garden following the Rangers' Stanley Cup finals game Monday night, Jackson said "Go Fish."
