Hawks coach experiences early Ides of March

Posted on March 3, 2008 4:28 PM
Atlanta still has a basketball team. Who knew? At 24-33 in the NBA Least-ern Conference, I think I can be forgiven for not realizing Al Horford plays for an NBA squad.

General manager Billy Knight has been around Atlanta longer than Coke, peaches, and peanuts. At least that's how it feels to Hawks fans who haven't seen a playoff run in a long time.

Backstabbin' Billy tried to give coach Mike Woodson the Caesar treatment. He wanted the coach fired, but instead of warm approval from the owners, Billy got something else...
Something significant has happened: The same owners who backed Billy Knight to the hilt in the fight against Steve Belkin in the summer of 2005 have disregarded Knight’s recommendation that Mike Woodson be fired. The general manager who once inspired blind trust in his ownership (if not his fan base) has lost his hold and might soon lose his job.
Passing on Chris Paul (20.8 pts, 4 boards, nearly 11 assists per game) should have cost Billy his job last year. Looks like Billy will be Billy-B-Gone after this season. Mike should be right behind him.
