“I’m going to be honest,’’ Woodson said. “I’ve let games go like that. In Atlanta, I let a couple of games where I didn’t call a timeout because they weren’t set. We threw it in and Joe Johnson was able to dribble down and hit a winning shot. Was I thinking that at the time? Well, when Beno [Udrih] stepped out and Melo begged for it and he threw it to him, I didn’t stop the play. I let it go on. I should’ve called a timeout, taking it out of their hands and advance the basketball [to half court], but I didn’t.’’
WOODSY is just begging to get fired. He's wants out NOW!
I have seen the knicks do that plenty of times. Not call time out and let Melo do his thing. Funny, Joe Johnson is a clutch performer at games end.
Woodson is stand up guy and will no doubt not throw his players under the bus. MDA would tell it like it is. Larry would tell it like it is.
Sometimes its the players fault. IM sure in NY were everything is blown out of proportion this seems like a firable offense.
Like I said after the game, if he called a TO, all that would of happened is he would have called an ISO Melo, and Melo would have ended up missing a contested shot. Zero imagination from coach or players on the offensive end, bungling ineptitude on the defensive.

Melo is certainly able to hit a contested shot. It would have been FAR better than that heave he chucked up yesterday. This is 100% on Woody. WTF kind of coach doesn't call a timeout in that situation? Boggles the mind.

Maybe so, but Joe Johnson isn't a "closer"
