You know the New York Knicks are headed in the right direction when their coaching staff is in demand.
Knicks associate head coach Johnnie Bryant and assistant Kenny Payne have both begged off from college coaching opportunities with the University of Utah and DePaul. But Mike Woodson could not turn his back from his alma mater.
Woodson is expected to accept an offer to coach Indiana University, according to multiple reports.
Indy Star was the first to report the news.
New York coach Tom Thibodeau made it clear that the Knicks organization will not stand in the way for his assistant coaches to leave the team for head coaching opportunities in the NCAA.
