How can you be mad at Woody? We will have an assistant that players would actually listen to. You're talking about the guy who made JR buy in and Made Melo do his thing.

No one and I mean NO ONE listened to Kurt Rambis.

I have no issue with Woodson as an assistant.

Also switching on screens is the best tactic if you have the personnel for it. If we add Mikal to Frank and KP we'll be well on our way to having the personnel.

actually a few guys came out saying they liked Kurt Rambis. Beasley was 1.

“I love Kurt,” Beasley said. “I talked to him when we weren’t on the same team. He’s one of my favorite people — one of the best coaches I’ve played under. He’s always proved to be honest and always going to give it to you straight up. Honesty is like the mirror. Everybody’s scared of the truth.”

Nigel Hayes too (tho he wasn't really with the team long)

Hayes also was highly complimentary of Knicks assistant Kurt Rambis, who he said helped him improve his shot immensely with shoulder balance and said he’s a vital part of the staff.

“I love him,” Hayes said. “There’s one coach that keeps everything relaxed and chill and happy-go-lucky.”

Can't figure out why so many are down on bringing the last guy that brought us to the playoffs back as an assistant. He preaches defense and players like him so i'd have zero problem with him as a assistant. If it was for HC it would be a different story but it isn't.


say what you want but last time we had a respectable record, especially at home was under Woody.

why can't we get a top-level, defensive-minded assistant though.

...

why we just settling on a defensive-minded assistant.

You trust him knowing he interviewed for the head coach position?

That man is going to be waiting in the weeds the way Mills did when it came to Phil messing up, and if he gets the Associate Head Coach position, he will become the interim if Fizdale is fired.

Also, if you're American or represented by CAA you will get a pass no matter what you do, the way he did when it came to blaming everyone for JR's f ups.


he's been an assistant on enough teams for him NOT to be considered a snake. At the same time it a good thing to have someone competent on the staff in case the coach is fired, needs time off or just isn't available.

Woodson was Larry Browns Top assistant when the Pistons defense was the best. Thats where he made his name at. Him in that role back in the city would not be the worst hire by no means. Dude is not the coach...not sure why there are so many crying about this potential hire.

Because conspiracy!! Woodson will sabotage Fiz to take his job!!

I bet most were glad when we started playing defense after Woodson took over for Mike D....who QUIT.

I'm cool with it. Defense. It would be nice to see again.

Like I said Woody aint no yes man I think he would thrive in an assistant role. Woody aint a bad coach at all. He should be a head coach in the league.

I keep saying this, but I don't understand the hate for Woodson. The man took us to 54 Wins! Our most successful Season since Ewing!!! He also had our team playing very well on BOTH ends of the floor.

He'd be a WELCOMED addition to the Coaching staff and make Fizzy's life easier too.

I can't remember, did Porzingis get to play with Woodson?

HE was an assistant before and after his tenure here. Some people are acting like he has a reputation as a snake. The only conspiracy here is imaginary.

If Kurt Rambis, Herb Williams, or Isiah Thomas were brought in as the top assistant, then there would be a problem. :banghead:

Talk of adding Woody as lead assistant should not even come close to the anger those names would bring.
