Four years after his last experience, Mike Woodson will be present on the NBA benches. As reported by Shams Charania, a journalist of ESPNthe technician will become the main assistant of Doug Christie in the Kings Subs, contributing his experience to try to help the coach in his second season, the first one in which he will be from the beginning to the front of the team.
Woodson began his journey through the benches of the League in 1996, although it was not until 2004 when he got his first position as chief coach in the Atlanta Hawks, which he would direct for six seasons. Later, he would make the leap to New York to become a Knicks coach between 2012 and 2014, achieving in 2013 that until 2023 was the first victory in a Round of playoffs of the franchise in the 21st century.
Since his departure, however, he has not achieved a main coach position in the League, although he did have periods as assistant in the clippers and the Knicks themselves. This led to 2021 becoming the coach of the University of Indiana, in which he formed himself, since he occupied until this same year.
In total, Mike Woodson has a balance of 315-365 as the main technician in the League, a number of matches that give him an important background with which he can help Christie improve the performance of last season.
