ARMONK, N.Y. Coach Mike DAntonis coaching system and his discordance with star player Carmelo Anthony are two reasons Armonk Knicks fans thought his resignation Wednesday was a good move.
With DAntonis system the team isnt built to play that way, said Kevin Hayden, a Connecticut resident who works in Armonk. They have adequate point guards and they dont want the offense to run through Carmelo.
DAntoni was the wrong man to get this team together, said Tony Verzello, an Armonk resident. And when you put the coach up against a star whos making $20 million a year, the stars going to win. The magics gone, and there was a bigger feud between the two of them.
When asked about a new coach, Hayden said, The team is built around superstars, so they need a coach that can handle the players. They got the players, so no more excuses.
Luis Gutierrez, the manager of Route 22 restaurant in Armonk, said, Maybe Phil Jackson would be good. Jackson played for the Knicks and coached the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.
Gutierrez also said the team should trade Anthony and get Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic.
