The New York Knicks Fire Derek Fisher

New York Knicks coach, Derek Fisher has been fired.

The team has had a depressing season, losing 5 straight games and 9 of their last 10 games. Fisher himself was 40-96 in a little over a season and a half in New York. 

As to who's the blame for the team's less than perfect track record, Fisher blames himself.

The coach said his team has "lacked readiness, whether mental or physical” at the beginning of games -- and he put the onus on himself to figure it out.

“I’ll take some responsibility for it -- whatever is or isn’t happening -- so that we’re ready to play right at the tipoff,” Fisher said. “I think we have to figure that out.”

Fisher’s biggest claim to fame while coaching the  Knicks was when he was attacked by Matt Barnes over Barnes's ex-wife, Gloria Govan, who was apparently dating Fisher at the time.
