NEW YORK (Sporting Alert) — The New York Knicks fired head coach Mike Woodson and his entire coaching staff, the team announced on Monday morning.
New York is said to be heading into a new direction and new president Phil Jackson says the “time has come for a change.”
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mike Woodson and his entire staff,” Jackson said in a release from the club.
“The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual.

“Everyone in this franchise owes a great deal of gratitude to what Mike and his staff have done. We wish him the best.”
