And so ends that. Today Mike D’Antoni resigned as the head coach of the New York Knicks amidst the post Linsanity era reality, that has seen his team at full strength lose seven of their last eight games. Sinking the Knicks below .500 (again) and has them fighting for their playoff lives (again) in the Eastern Conference.
Assistant head coach Mike Woodson will take over the (18-24) wreck on an interim basis for the rest of the season, but the Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan and Larry Brown rumor are already swirling.
D’Antoni was 121-167 in New York and led the Knicks to their first playoff appearance in seven seasons. His moustache roaming the sidelines will be missed.
