“I would say my formation as a coach is more from an international standpoint,” says Kenny. “That’s where I learned to coach, and there’s a big emphasis on skill work and shooting; an up-tempo and open style that’s predicated on good skills.”


He is da man who developed Lin.

How come he wouldn't stay and develop Felton? :roll:

Allan Houston did more for Shump's jumper in two weeks, than Atkinson did in months. Peace.

Maybe because Felton isn't international?

How come he didn't develop Gallo?

Cause Felton has nothing left to develop except a larger stomach.

He also developed the guy who saved our season last year but I am sure you could care less about that. Understandable.

Honestly I am surprised he didn't go back to Houston. They are one of the youngest teams in the NBA. have a ton of young guys there for him to develop aside from lin of course.

Lmao. What a looser you are. My love of the Knicks makes me hate stupid decisions like this. So frustrating that our player development coach leaves because all of our players are old as fakk

Did you even read the article? He's becoming an assistant coach for Drew, which is a promotion he wouldn't have received here. What does having veterans have to do with this?

There was an opening I believe. When Woodson took over he could have promoted Kenny If I am not mistaken.

^^^ but he didn't he put who he wanted on the sideline. If the guy was all caked up with Lin after he signed with the Rockets the good reddens. As a company and or team you want people to be loyal to the team not some one who was here for six months

LMAO. Some of yall need to wipe the word loyalty out of your vocabulary. For a franchise that hasn't won ish in how many years we have a fan base that is so god damn broke.
