The New York Knicks missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2009-10 season, and many fans are expecting head coach Mike Woodson to be fired.
Woodson seems to believe that his job is in danger as well because he is refusing to meet with new president Phil Jackson until he receives clarification on his status, according to Sports Illustrated. Steve Kerr is accepted to receive the post if Woodson is fired.
ESPN reports that Woodson would prefer that Jackson tell his agent that he is being fired if that is the case.
Jackson and Woodson are expected to speak over the phone on Friday to plan a meeting or work out the terms of Woodson's coaching status.
Woodson has coached the Knicks for the past two seasons since Mike D'Antoni resigned in 2011. The Knicks had won their first playoff series last season, and it was their first in 13 seasons. They had won 54 games that season to take an Atlantic Division title.
