New York Knicks President (and former player) Phil Jackson announced this morning that the entire Knicks coaching staff have been "relieved of their duties," effectively immediately.

"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mike Woodson and his entire staff," Jackson said. "The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual. But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond."

According to KnicksNow.com, the search for a new coach will begin immediately.
