It’s official. The Knicks have brought someone on board to provide the much needed defensive mindset that Mike D’Antoni lacks.
The Knicks have hired Mike Woodson as Mike D’Antoni’s defensive assistant and are expected to announce the move later today, according to a person familiar with the situation.
As reported first by The Post, Woodson met with D’Antoni in New York on Aug. 1 and immediately became the top candidate. But the Knicks were in no hurry to make the hire during the prolonged lockout and because Woodson was still in line for the Timberwolves head coaching job.
