The record books say that Fuzzy Levane stopped coaching the Knicks on December 18, 1959, in the aftermath of what he would always call “The Last Supper”.
Don’t believe it. Fuzzy Levane never stopped coaching the Knicks.
That was evident with every office visit (some even announced), every courtside conversation, and, later, every phone call down to his retirement home in South Carolina. He would rant, he would rail, he would pontificate with a passion that was uniquely his. He couldn’t understand things like eight-man coaching staffs or player entourages.
