If you’re at all connected to the New York Knicks community, you’ve heard many impatient fans call for Phil Jackson’s job. A 17-65 record in 2014-15, as well as New York missing the playoffs in 2015-16, simply hasn’t been enough to appease title-hungry Knicks fans.
If New York does pull the trigger on firing Jackson, all it will be doing is repeating the same mistakes that put New York into its current predicament.
All parting ways with Phil Jackson would do is continue the same pattern that thrust the Knicks into obscurity in the first place.
New York has an uncanny ability to give up on coaches and general managers before their vision can be executed to its fullest extent.
