Mike Woodson was fired as coach of the New York Knicks in the first major move by Phil Jackson since he became team president last month.
Bloomberg reports that Woodson and his entire staff were dismissed after the team failed to reach the National Basketball Association playoffs. The Knicks wrapped up their season April 16 with a 95-92 home victory over the Toronto Raptors to finish with a 37-45 record.
“The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual,” Jackson said in an e-mailed release. “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.”
The search for a new staff will begin immediately, the team said.
