Looks like the NY Knicks are no longer rocking with Derek Fisher as head coach as it has been reported that he has just been fired from his position!
According to ESPN, Fisher was fired after the NY team, who are 23-31 this season, experienced a five-game losing streak which leaves them with a 1-9 record within the last 10 games. Sources tell the sports network that the team believes that Fisher lacks experience as a head coach and feels that he hasn’t effectively crossed over as a coach versus player.
Assistant coach Kurt Rambis is said to take over until someone takes the position permanently. Brian Shaw and Luke Walton are said to be in the running to snag the new head coach position. This loss must be an extra blow since Fisher is already in the news for getting whooped by Matt Barnes’ for allegedly smashing his ex wife, Gloria Govan!
Yikes, hopefully he can come back from this!
