Knicks head coach and staff fired

Head coach of New York Knicks, Mike Woodson, has been sacked one year after leading the basketball team to their first division title in almost twenty years.

The announcement came on Monday, after the team failed to get a playoff spot. Woodson and his coaching staff now has to pack their bags and leave the Knicks.

‘The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual. But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond,’ said team President Phil Jackson, after finalizing his first big move in this position.

The Knicks ended the NBA’s Eastern Conference of this year on the ninth place, with a 37-45 record.
