Former Knicks coach David Fizdale recently discussed his tenure on FanDuel TV, attributing his poor record to directives from the front office to intentionally lose games in hopes of drafting top prospects like Zion Williamson or Ja Morant. He expressed regret for not fighting harder to build a competitive team. Fizdale finished with a 21-83 record, the worst in franchise history, while the Knicks improved significantly after his departure under subsequent coaches. Since leaving the Knicks, he has not held a head coaching position.
