Ex-Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni spoke with Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum, going on the record for the first time about his departure from Madison Square Garden:
I absolutely resigned. I was in my car driving to shootaround and it just came to me. That's it. It's inevitable. I have to resign. We're not going anywhere. I made the decision then and there. I called Glen [Grunwald, the Knicks' general manager] and told him that I was coming in to do it. Then I called Laurel [his wife] to tell her. Glen called in Mr. Dolan [Knicks owner James Dolan] and I met them after shootaround and told them that I was resigning.D'Antoni also said that he does plan to coach again, but that the likeliest short-term scenario would be him staying on the sidelines for one more year while his son finishes high school.
