OK, it’s true. David Fizdale did some weird things as Knicks coach.
He routinely benched guys to teach them a lesson. He sometimes played rotations that didn’t make sense. And he loved giving the ball to players who had no chance to be a part of the Knicks future, players like Noah Vonleh and Emmanuel Mudiay and Trey Burke.
