So Mike D'Antoni is out and Mike Woodson is in as (interim) head coach of the New York Knicks --- presumably until Phil Jackson can take over the helm (i.e. if you believe the word on the street). Want details about the resignation? If so, you're in the wrong place. I like Coach Woodson. I've known him for about 10-11 years now. I knew him when he was in Cleveland. As an assistant coach he took the time to come over to the house to visit an injured player who was rehabbing. Coach and I are not best buddies, but I do reach out whenever I'm in town and go and see him at work (i.e. coaching).
One funny story about Woody: I used to work with a guy who was OBSESSED with Indiana Basketball. He was the ultimate Indiana University fan. He told me stories about Woody's shooting, with the hugest smile on his face. He told me to ask Woody about it. Later, after a game or maybe it was when he was visiting his player, I recounted the story to him. I told him that my co-worker told me that he was one of the best shooters on his team. Woody just smiled, not a cocky smile --- but a sincere, confident grin and said "I WAS the shooter".
That's Woody. He's great. All the best, coach!
